The Queensland travels continue, as we punish the internet world with another selection of sightings and photos.The sightings are from our October 1996 trip, the photos from all over the place (location and date wise).Please enjoy, if you so desire, otherwise feel free to hate. I leave that choice up to you.

One of the more interesting moments when cataloguing 100,000+ photos is the finding photographs of items, and places, you never even remember going to.  Evidently, we caught a train from Roma Street to Beenleigh, after seeing a kettle arrive at the former station.Photo: Brad Peadon.
