This is along the Mt Tambo Road or Track. This country is in the Bindi, Benambra, Omeo triangle, Close to Mt Shaw. The photo was taken in 2006 with a 3Mpx point and shoot. I edited with Gimp to give more oomph and depth of field. When you enlarge this it looks a bit "painted". Unfortunately, no camera can fully capture the grandeur of this part of East Gippsland.

This is a "Fergy" tractor. Massey Ferguson of Sunshine Victoria churned out thousands of these. They are now becoming a collectors item and are eagerly sought after by hobby farmers. This is a tri-colour manipulation to try and emulate a 60's -70's advertisement plate.
The ROP (Roll Over Protection - the π shaped beams) are a required "add-on" They are not part of the original tractor.

I was set up to shoot something else and this little fellow just settled on an old flower. It was just a matter of pointing and pressing the shutter . This is a pure rrrs shot. I never knew that dragon flies have hairy torsos (see the close ups)
