The ST known as "Blue Tongue" (2001 and earlier 24 hour races) after the fires and some regrowth.

The ST Mr Fluffy Pants (Richard built it and named it after his dog).

Looking up to the line the Sydney Siders expect us to build ST down rather than the line Mr Fluffy Pants takes

A photo of my bike (new frame and all) taken on top of Dairy Farmers hill looking out towards Mt Taylor and Woden

An example of why I think Dairy Farmers lookout has one of the best views of Canberra available, though it is spoilt a bit by the areas burnt in the 2002 fires.

Still on Dairy Farmers hill showing the devestation of the Blue Tongue and Son of Seth area of pine forest.

Part of the ST Jelly Beans, this is an area where the fire burnt off a lot, a contrast to how fast it must have swept through where the see saw was.

1600x1200
The remains of the see saw, the trees are not burnt as much here, and the see saw escaped damage completely in the fires.

Another view down from the see saw.

An interesting example of regrowth on native trees next to cotter road.
