The Space Port

I can see this building going up from my apartment. It looks like a space port rising through the trees... so I call it The Space Port...

 If you look really, really carefully you can see it left of the antenna in the tree line.

Looks more "spacey" at night when the welding torches blaze away... very cyber punk!

Badger Creek Wier

Badger Creek Weir is a walking track in the forest just up the road from Healesville Sanctuary. It's a short walk, only about a kilometer, through mountain ash forest up a Vally to the weir (which is part of Melbourne's water supply). Great on a hot day, I went there to cool off.

2011 was bad for my car

2011 was bad for my car. It got a nasty scrape on the side and an even nastier dent on front quarter panel.
A bit of bog, skill, paint and my sweat later and she's all better...


This one at the Upper Yarra Dam

Before (2010)

Apply bog (body filler) sand, apply bog and sand, apply bog and sand, apply bog and sand... endless

Sweatn & fixn

Finally bogged, sanded and primer painted... had to drive it around looking like this for months waiting for summer and warmer conditions so I could paint the poor thing. Photo somewhere in the  Strzelecki Ranges at Earth Dance 2011.

Lookn like white trash

Nice weather and finally an opportunity to apply paint... much  better now.

Back to normal (2012)

Love Chili... really, really

Welcome to Kangaroo Sushi. The basic idea with this is to have web-space to upload  photos and comments. Mostly about Melbourne & surrounds for friends and those curious about visiting, I'll also throw in the odd bit of food, goings on and stuff in general. Mainly though, it's about Melbourne, Victoria and showing it off.   As I'm just getting started it's gonna be a bit of a sandbox for a while so apologies for any mess.


There will be lots of pretty pictures...
I use a camera phone, a Nokia  6220c with a 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens.  
If you look at the trees in the blog title (Mountain Ash), I took that photo about a year ago 80km East of Melbourne on Mount Donna Buang near the town of  Warburton, it's about an hours drive and worth a visit if you haven't been there.
