I am sure I have seen it, and feel it is definitely in Qld, specially as the QCWA sort of gives it away. Is it in Oakey

Well done Reglynn that's it over to you for the next place

 

 

Statue of horse and rider commemorate Gayndah as the home of the Queensland Derby which was first run in 1868. "The Hermit" was the winner.

The first Queensland Derby was run at Gayndah at 1868 under the Queensland Jockey Club auspices. The Q.J.C was the premier racing club in the colony and Gayndah in the 1860s was perhaps the chief sporting centre. The Derby was for 50 sovereigns and was won by Mr. W.E. Parry-Okeden's horse "Hermit" and amongst the other starters were the Honourable B.B. Moreton's "The Rake", Gaydon's "Escapado" and "Goshawk."

Would this have been used to construct a wharf/pier?

it's nothing to do with a construction a wharf or a jetty, a bit of photo shoot, but there is a long jetty near which was closed down.

It's on an island very close to a town where there is a big antenna. cheers reg

Thanks Reglynn, it was  your clues that gave it away for me. Try this one now.

I always try to post a pic that was two years ago from today, unfortunately (and I say that lightly) we were in Jakarta, which is not in Australia, so I have had to explore a bit deeper into our archives.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset from this free camp (oddly enough, looking east), three years ago today. Remind me, where were we please.

Edit: Oh I remember now, I sat in this seat and watched the sun rise
