Here are some more photos from our recent trip to Australia:

| Parked outside Deus ex Machina, a Honda VTR 250, a baby Monster, perhaps my ideal of a daily driver. |
 |
Also parked outside Deus ex Machina, a belt drive Peerless, someone else' idea of the ideal daily driver

| The control tower and front straight. That's Don Lange on the right. |
 |
| How could I resist a 'Roper Rd' sign? That's Maurice Candy riding shotgun. |
 |
This is the abandoned Catalina Park circuit we visited in Katoomba

Kenny checking out the run off
 | Maurice contemplates the possibilities
 | | The circuit is 2.1km./ 1.3mi. long |

A memorial to the fallen soldiers from Bathurst in the Boer War. It boggles my mind that colonials in Australia would go to South Africa to fight for the Empire. But, I guess no harder to understand than the Great War, WW II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Malaysian War(?) that were added to this memorial.

Racing the ERTT sans windscreen after my get-off. That's my arch nemesis, Phil Paton on a 270 Bultaco #91. He beat me by 0.005 sec. in race 2 and I beat him by 0.003 sec in race 3. #79 is a MT 125 Honda. Photo by Jake Skate, jakeskateimages.com

Here I'm on Tom Marquardt's 492cc Honda CB400F. This must be practice or qualifying as #800 (TT 500 Yamaha) and #34 (SR 500 Yamaha) finished well behind me, or didn't finish, in all the races. Jake Skate photo, jakeskateimages.com
