Just thought I'd share this with you... I was walking along the coast this afternoon and came across this scene. I just had a to whip out my phone camera and take the shot - the Sydney coastline, the Aussie flag and a wheelchair all on an Autumn afternoon. I have no idea who this chair belonged to, there was no obvious owner around - he or she was probably taking a swim or having a surf. I just loved this scene, its so uniquely Aussie. Studley, you think you live in paradise..... I reckon I can give you a run for your money....  If anyone has a similar pic in their hometown or would just love to share a pic that is typical of where they live, post it here. I'd love to see it. |

Yeah Alfy, by the time I walked back the chair and the pack were gone. I can only assume that the wheeler and his or her possessions were safe. Thanks Beanzster, I wish I could lay claim to some photographic talent, but the lighting etc were all God's handiwork  . Posting this pic is also a sneaky way of tempting you all to come to Aus  . |

lol....I just returned from beach, and it was sweeeet, but your Aussie-paradise is pretty damn nice, too. However Doe-licious, did you check to see if the poor para was laying on the rocks below??? I'm thinking it was all just too much, and he probably flung himself off the edge, and here you are enjoying the salacious visual....poor guy, had he only stayed in his chair a few more minutes, he might have met a cool goodlookin chick that actually LIKES guys in chairs. Oh well, more for us quads....hehe

I'll add this pic of Niagara Falls that I took with my phone from my hotel room. Playing Craps at the Casino at 6am after a night of partying was a bad idea...  It looks better at night though  |

Doe. How many times have I told you to stop following me around taking photos of me and my wheelchair? I was actually abseiling off the side there and one of my lines got tangled. Anyway managed to get back up ok and sorry I missed you. And Triman you guys are paranoid about sharks. There's actually more out there than you think!!! Fubbtastic, how many times have I told you not to abseil off surf livesaving clubs on surburban Sydney beaches? So instead of tangling and dangling you could have been meeting an *ahem* cool goodlookin chick - love ya work Studley  . Ah well, I see a cool handsome quad just up ahead, seeyah.... Love the pics SOVA. The Canadians certainly got the better views of Niagra Falls. I have seen them IRL and they are amazing. |

I swear, you Aussies remind me of Monty Python's Black Night. "It's just a flesh wound!" ;D Here are some from the bucolic area where I live...   |

Sova, awesome pics of the falls. Like the reflection of your shaved pate in the daytime shot. Clover, that field looks like it would just smell good!
Anyone wanna see a pic of my neighborhood? It smells like Dunkin Donuts and traffic.

It smells like Dunkin Donuts and traffic. Sounds just about like my neighbourhood! Actually my native hometown was plastered all over that crappy Mel Gibson comeback movie attempt released a couple of months ago if anyone wants to see Northampton... |
