January ’14 Photo Comp - RELICS ‘AS FOUND’.

[Cuppa]

This month’s competition topic has been chosen by December’s winner Nisshead.
His chosen topic is RELICS ‘AS FOUND' So not relics that you own, have hung up in your shed etc, but those you have come across & photographed where you found them. I expect we’ll see some goodies. Good luck to all, & to anyone who hasn’t previously participated I encourage you to do so.


Monthly Photo Competition guidelines (Please read)

* Each month a new competition thread will commence & all forum members are invited to submit their photos .

* Maximum of three entries per person.

* Multiple entries should be made in separate posts

* Each entry should consist of a single photograph & a short description only

* Comments pertinent to entries are encouraged, but please do not use this thread to engage in banter

Toward the end of the month the date & time of competition closure will be announced. Following this time the thread will be locked & the 'Thanks' counted to determine the winner.

* 'Thanks' may be added or withdrawn at any time during the month up until the competition is closed.
You are welcome to thank as many different posts as you wish!

* In the event of a tied first place I will add a casting vote, except in circumstances where my entry is one of the tied ones, in which case I will withdraw my entry.

Thanks for your cooperation

Tree growing through it and all. It's on the Morwell River Rd in Boolarra.

[Cuppa]

Great start Winnie, especially with the tree an’ all. I expect we might see a few old car relics as entries come in. Can anyone identify what Winnie’s one is?

[Bush Ranger]

Maleys stone barn, Greenough WA. Constructed in the late 1860s by ticket of leave convict labour. An old harvester, a seeder and I have no idea of the last mechanical object. I am guessing that it could have some thing to do with baling hay may be. It has a wheel for a wide belt to drive / operate it.

Its 1940's... I think it might be a ford?
First thought was it was a FX or FJ holden, but the tray doesn't look right for a Holden.
I'll throw a pic up tomorrow of a relic I have found.

This shot is from Danggali Conservation Park about 100km north of Renmark.

Have you tried metal detecting around the ruins, might be heaps of pioneering artifacts that tell a story

Thanks Pearcey, Yeah come on people, get them snaps in!

I will try to do the usual thing at the end of the month, but there are potential complications which might see the end of the January comp & beginning of the February comp delayed. We are hoping our place is sold, & are taking off in the bus to go house hunting, so will be dependant upon having a telstra signal to get online. As we are not sure just where we’ll be yet, it’s possible we’ll be ‘internet-less’ at times.

Anyway time for a few more entries, Nisshead picked a great topic, we’ve had some great entries, but time for a few more.

Hi Cuppa,
It's on the Newstead - Maldon Rd. on the left handside, you won't miss it and the bus will get in there no problem. Not sure if you can camp there but there will be camping in the area.

I have no idea what the problem is, certainly not a problem for me. At least with your post we now know it isn’t TD’s meds causing the issue! ....... unless of course he’s sent you some. :)

If anyone else having the same difficulties please post about them here (http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?25942-TD-s-issues-viewing-the-January-photo-comp-thread)

No problems seeing all pages here on home pc.

This pic is of a rail spike on the Old Ghan rail line, which is now part of the road between Alice Springs and Chambers Pillar.

There are thousands of these spikes buried on this part of the road, left when they pulled up the old tracks.

Congratulations to our winner, 'Opinion' from Romania, a great & colourful shot of the old car which Wine Maker tells us is a 1937-40 Opel.

In second place we have joint place getters, Appollofish for his Porcupine Flats Dredger & myself with what Ferret tells us is a 1927 Ford.

Third place also went to myself for the old can on the ground at Lake Harry Ruins, on the Birdsville Track.

Well done to all the entrants. Entry numbers were a bit down this month, more entries attract more entries so let's hope with Christmas & new year out of the way that our February competition will attract a few more.

Thanks again to Nisshead, last month's winner, for his choice of topic

Opinion, please would you send me a PM as soon as possible to tell me of your choice of topic for the February competition.

Thanks to all who participated, both entrants & voters.
