John Forest national park
Taken on a push bike ride along the Railway Heritage Track
The Railway heritage Track is an old railway track, converted to a walk and bike track
it runs along Jane brook through the park
a nice easy and scenic ride
it was a nice and cloudy day for a change
there is also a tunnel (the only one in W.A.)
the rest of the photos are in my gallery http://www.johndolphin.net/photos/categories.php?cat_id=49

Big Al’s Poker Run
Big Al’s Poker Run is the biggest hot rod and custom car gathering in Western Australia.
On the shores of the Swan River near the Burswood hotel, hundreds of hot rods, custom cars, and old cars gather before going on a cruise around Perth, and to see all these cars cost a gold coin donation. The best value for money in Perth.
Maybe this year I will use a different lens to the Pentax 10-17 fish eye, as much as it was fun and enabled me to get so close to the cars that no one could get in between, it doesnt give an accurate representation of the cars. lol
The run takes place on the second Saturday in February, in 2010 it will be the 13th.
For more information look on Big Al’s website
