It's all over my head mate :argh: so I'm glad you've got it sorted otherwise I doubt I'd ever see such photos. I love the detail, looks great keep'em coming :Y: Have you got any close ups of your Gold finds I reckon that camera equipment you've got would show some great detail :Y: :beer:
I thought these were a couple of interesting images I took a couple of weeks back (apologies for the reflections). The first is (some of) the inner cluster of islands in the Torres Strait. Thursday Island is government central. There are a couple of big islands missing in the shot. Wednesday island is fairly big with a population of 0 and is behind where the shot was taken. And there is Horn island which is left of the shot. 53 sq.km and a population of 650. Home of the local airport. Where Thursday Islands sewerage is buried. The garbage is dump is. The gold mine is. And the cyanide pond is (no idea what that is). Also where Thursday Island gets it's drinking (non-drinkable) water from. :argh:
This other image is of Warraber (Sue) Island. I was going to post this in another thread for the obvious reasons but..... It is one of the higher islands or inhabited sand cays in the Torrres Strait, with a peak elevation of 6m. It has a population of 250. There are other inhabited islands up here which are considerably lower. Not hard to see how a minor change in weather can affect these small low lying places.
Warraber has only been recently permanently inhabited. About 60 years ago after a dispute over water on a relatively near by island called Coconut.

Thanks LW. All swings and round a-bouts up here. Just received a $720 hardship payment for the Townsville flooding. It makes the
oop: water taste so much sweeter. :awful: :lol:
Got a mate up there ATM doing Gyproc .... The materials have quadrupled in price up there and now they have teamed up with a few other crews and are trucking up materials direct from Brisbane... 1 B double on a constant return trip.... :money:

Thats typical hey LW. People forget how big the trucking network is in Qld and many of my clients get their goods direct from Brisbane.
It is a shame because the local blokes really need the money but greed takes over. Sorry for the rant.

Aye. It's a big supply demand pricing here on everything. We were getting pinged $12 for half a moldy cauliflower (blaming the flooding
for the high (ridiculous) prices of food). VB is $70 a slab (That's normal). And the bottle shop is $72 for 24 small bottles of water and the tap water is undrinkable at the moment. Freight can be expensive but as your mate discovered you have to be smart about moving goods. Most stuff is shipped by barge from Cairns. Three day trip. Really no other way. A lot of the inflated prices up here though is price gouging.
But at the end of the day its all worth it. Especially for the kids. They're leave here with some great memories. :inlove:

I've been out of the photography game for a few years now, but still take a snap from time to time. One day I'll get back into the observatory and pick up the astrophotography where I left off.
