The Governor General, Quentin Bryce, flew in yesterday for a surprise visit. With the river still above major flood levels, we are are still isolated and will be till at least late this week.

Just a few from yesterday.

Nice photos, but I thought, based on the title, I thought you meant George Gregan visited. :D

The last two are great images - i wish she was smiling in the second last one, it would make for a really neat portrait. I think even the smaller size flight helmet is gonna be too big for her!

Good angle on the S70B too! its good old workhorse..(got a few of my repairs on it too :|

She'd been on the go all day after being in Moree as well and looked pretty tired. The Seahawk was an unusual sight sitting on the local cricket pitch and half the town was looking it over.

It was obvious she's done this many times.

Another for Gerry. Grass flying everywhere from the clippings of a freshly slashed oval after the long wet.

Numbers 1, 3 and 4 are just sensational. Beautiful moire on the portraits, and the reflection in the goggles is fantastic. As already written "as good as it gets"

Really well done.
Ian

Thanks ya'll. Think about this. There were no television cameras following her, no press or press cameras from out of town, no hullabulloo and no opportunism in a difficult situation. And that deserves a very big :up:
