ACDC Brisbane 2010

Went to AC/DC on thursday night.
Geez, I don’t think I could move like those guys do on stage.

Angus came out looking like a clean cut school boy and by the end of the concert he looked like Gollum from Lord of the rings.

I took this photo from Arena 1 (right side of the stage).

One more show in Brisbane…
“For those about to rock [on Saturday night] we salute you”

I went to this cool old pub in Rockhampton. It’s called the Criterion Hotel and it was built in the same year as the Breaky Creek Hotel here in Brisbane. It’s supposed to be haunted by the ghost of a prostitute, who searches for her long lost love. Well that’s what I’ve heard, I should have probably checked my facts before writing this, but you look at the photo of it’s foyer and tell me it isn’t haunted…

I was in Hervey Bay today on another photographic assignment. I finished for the day and headed for the hotel, but stopped to actually have a look at the water. I realise now that Hervey Bay can’t get enough of their novelty sized marine creatures. I found some sharks attacking a boat and later on, a large whale surfacing out of the pavement near my hotel room.

So after my busy week, I got home from Mt Isa and it was time for some R&R. We went away to Casuarina Beach (NSW) for the weekend. It was supposed to rain the whole time but we got pockets of sunshine.

I got down to the beach for the morning to snap the sunrise. Then we headed over to Byron Bay to eat, drink and do the tourist thing at the lighthouse, where things started to get windy. By the end of the day, the ocean was angry. So we retired for a bottle of wine and some rum and cokes

On the road again last week. I landed in Mt Isa on a photographic assignment.
The countryside is awesome in that part of QLD. I got up to the local lookout before dinner to get a good view of the mines and the city lights. Can’t wait to get back there and have a good look around the rest of the countryside.

Coming in on the plane, all you can see are small red mountains and lonely roads going off to somewhere in the distance.

Thanks to everyone who needed little jobs done and waited patiently until the weekend while I was away.
