Just because there were only three entries, that does not make it very much easier and I have done a deal of swithering and a little googling before settling on a winner.
To start with Ara’s leaning temple, a quick google of other images persuaded me that it seems to be difficult to take a picture of the edifice from river level that makes it look like it is standing up straight. This could, of course, be because the owner of the site made the mistake of employing that cowboy, James Wyatt, as architect instead of having the common sense to use Wyatt’s great rival, Robert Adam (Uni of Embra trained), who would have done a proper job and got the perspective right when viewing the Temple from the river.
Joshing apart, Ara, it’s a fine photo and utterly memorable as required for this competition.
Moving on to Oz’s first entry, I liked the composition with the bridge towering over the trees in what I think must be Captain Burke Park on Kangaroo Point since my google map is not showing greenery at the other end of the bridge.
If so, major plus points for proximity to the Gabba. On the other hand, my brother-in-law gets severe minus points for driving straight up the M3 after I had harassed him into taking me to the Gabba on the way back from Byron Bay. He could have made the effort and gone over the Story bridge for yet another memorable experience that day. In my opinion.
For the avoidance of doubt, I have in no way been influenced in my decision by the facts that the bridge is named after John Douglas Story who was born in Embra and that it stands in a city named after a man who, despite being born a Weegie, had the good sense to attend the aforementioned Uni of Embra.
Oz’s second effort earned the sobs of Bilby and the praise of Ara and they’re not wrong. My last memory of a thoroughly memorable holiday Down Under was taking off from Brisbane airport bound for Hong Kong. We took off at dead of night and I wish that I could have had the same memory as Oz has of that last, lingering look at the Queensland Coast.
A beautiful photograph, Oz, and a worthy winner for me.

Thank you, Mr Mackie. Australia holds a very special place in my heart alongside the two other great loves of my life. I shall consider the next piccie competition and inform cherished colleagues shortly.
OZ
Nice one, JM and OZ! Another howling success. 🙂
A worthy winner, OZ. Well done.
And thanks Mr Mackie for your well written and amusing judgement. Actually you are right about Temple Island, it is very difficult to photograph the Temple. It’s at an odd angle from a photographic viewpoint if you are at river level.
I have the Terry McKivragan print of Temple Island on my sitting room wall and even though the Temple is straight the campshedding is at an odd angle.
