Great Robber fly

[DickyOZ]

#1 They are big but they don't bite.


I hiked to the top of Mount Ninderry today, at only 304m you don't need oxygen.
@2 The track isn't too steep.


#3 From the top you get quite a good but hazy view.


Maroochy was a beautiful maiden (weren't they all?) who was betrothed to a warrior Coolum. But a warrior from a neighbouring tribe kidnapped her. Coolum went and rescued her but on the way home the enemy warrior threw a boomerang that cut off Coolum's head. He fell to his knees and became Mount Coolum; his head rolled into the sea and became Mudjimba Island. Heartbroken, Maroochy wandered inland and her tears became The Maroochy river that can be seen meandering across the plain.

#4 Mount Coolum can be seen in the haze near the sea.


Alas, the robber fly was the only creature of interest along the way.

Nice shots.

I doubt if their prey would agree with you!

Excellent shot though.

Nice series. I like 1 and 4 in particular. 4 has that dappled sunlight/shadow effect that looks great with an expansive landscape.
