No 2 for the sharpness Kris, but No 1 for that '3-D' look around the bud.

Andrew, the car images are my pic. Not sure about the rare carving - it looks fairly well done to me!

Thank goodness we live in a place where there's none of this cr@p... Free-to-air TV - analogue and digital - for the time being at least...

Using flash in caves, trying to take pics of back-lit stalactites...

That is likely a tough call for you Kris, and will involve some compromises so you can be the photographer and the guest! Good luck...

The Fern is great, there are so many of those here but I've yet to capture one as well as this Andrew.
A bit OT - Hunslet 0-6-0s were used here on the timber tramways (pre-Pentax days of course). There's very little left of them or the infrastructure on which they worked now unfortunately. Bushfires have accounted for the majority of it, and engines were scrapped.
Some of the other locos that used to work the extensive timber tramways in the Victorian Alps were:
Fowler 2-4-0s & 0-4-2s
Beyer-Peacock 0-4-0s & 2-6-0s
Baldwin 0-4-0 Saddletanks, 2-4-0s, 2-6-0s & 4-6-0s
Shay (no details ?)
Kerr-Stuart 0-4-0
Krauss 0-4-0
You may be more fortunate in having better preserved railways and engines elsewhere, and come across some of these names.
