Some pictures taken last week from the water towers at Ipswich. Sadly the light wasn't the greatest for picture taking, but I'm not sure when I'll next be out there so we will have to make do.

I came back through Mt Crosby, so a couple of pictures of what must be the smallest (and forgotten) bridge on the Brisbane river near Kholo. There have been a few shark attacks by Bull sharks near here, so it shows how far upstream they will go. There were warnings signs everywhere about them, maybe it's a shark nursery area.

Also a view from nearby of the river and looking west.

I'd recomend the Mt Crosby road as a drive to anyone, I have lived in Brisbane most of my life and not known that such nice rural bits of Brisbane still exist. The huge waterpipes along the road are intresting as well.

I went on that road about 2 or 3 years ago.
We were surprised to see the shark warning signs, given how far inland we were.

I remember swimming in Colleges Crossing years ago...a heap of Eels as I recall.
