Ahhhhhhh that was to be my next answer, jannette macdonald and Howard Keel from Rose Marie or Indian love call....

I think it's a pity that after paying out so much for fuel...One has to pay an arm and a leg for accomadation and a meal....everynight...I personnally would rather rough it out in the bush.....Thats just me....I'm certainly not anti- human...It's just that with so much open spaces we are lucky to have..we should be able to enjoy it....Free!!!  My favoritr spot was Port Douglas and Ellis Beach QLD

Port Doug is a nice spot especially on Sundays when you can ride the steam cane train from your 5* accom down to the wharf....Where is Ellis Beach? I stayed a few weeks at Wonga Beach, it was great there too it's about as far north as you can go without xing the Daintree....

Ok.... I'll stump ya's all it'll be a what is it as opposed to where it is...The only reason I worked out it was lorn hill was that I saw the doco series on the ABC the other night with John Doyle in it and excatly the same shot came into view....I've never been there, but I will have to try....
Basil now rummages throw approx 4 million pics to find just the one he wants....In fact if anyone gets this one I'll throw in a prize....

overhead power transmission lines for electric trams, this is of course a crossover, and boy dont I miss 'em, the days of the old red rattler, and the little red hens, oh boy oh boy my own theme for my phone, I heard one in the fitting area out front today it just screamed out, "hey answer your fxxxxxing phone, your fxxxxing phones ringing, if you dont answer the fxxxing phone you will have to fxxxing ring them back and that will fxxxing cost you a fxxxing phone call hurry up and answer your fxxxing phone, the lady that was carrying the thing didnt know where to look , it was her sons phone

I'm not sure that I can pay that one Dave given the value of the prize. It is not a crossover or junction, they are called "trolley frogs" I'd like the correct nomenclature please, and if someone beats you too it well I'd have to give them the prize.....

Gosh Basil..almost looks like an Insulator Frog to me..
One of them things which amused us young'uns with the electric flash as the tram boom passed thru.
Reminds me of the bloke who went to the labour exchange for a job.
He said he wanted to be a conductor, so they nailed him to a chimney.

mon if you go back to page 2 about halfway down (I think) the answer is in there

Ok what is this? If you are or were a resident of the following cities you would have seen 1000's of these on your daily commute to work. Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Kalgoorlie, Geelong, Ballaraat, Bendigo, Hobart, Newcastle and today you can still see these if you know where to look in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Ballarraat & Bendigo....And for the winner a prize, yes it's a biggy, your very own "Blue Hills" theme as a ringtone for your Mobile Phone.....

I know what it is cuz I had a torrid affair with a tram driver and it's called an "ear" and holds the wire up for the trams.

 

On my life I have been upstaged by a dog loving trainee grey nomad....Ok though Ashely's answer is not stricty correct I'll give it to her, her intentions were spot on. Technically that type with the bent arms is correctly referred to as a "Chicago ear" and the ones with the straight arms for use with spring bow collectors like Hobart are called "Philly ears" after philadelphia...
Now the crunch, seeing as how I am celebrating I will let anyone who private messages me their email address one free copy of the "Blue Hills" ringtone. You have all be great sports about this, Ashely it's your turn to stump us old farts.

No other volunteers?

Here is another then.
Harder this time.
I reccon that this is possibly the most spectaular gorge in Australia.
What do you reccon?
On the way, tell us about the best gorges that you have seen.


Cheers,
Peter
