Description


"We're going to hang out the washing on The Brisbane Line..." Fortunately Australia and, indeed, military historians everywhere were spared the Battle of Boonoo Boonoo- just north of Tenterfield in northern New South Wales, Australia. The "Brisbane Line" is generally held to be a myth. According to the political chest-thumping in the early months of war in the Pacific, that "other lot" from down south had a secret plan to withdraw everyone into the south-east corner of the nation and abandon Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia [that's right, the bits that we've since learned are full of coal, iron ore, oil and natural gas ;-)] to the resource-hungry invaders. Unlikely, but it makes for a great election speech! Yet judging by all the WW2 tank-traps and earthworks at strategic crossing points on the NSW-Queensland border, the army engineers were kept busy there doing "something." I was intrigued to read that some of these preparations even preceeded the outbreak of war. I know that Queensland/New South Wales rivalries are always simmering just under the surface, but... TANK TRAPS? :-0 Isn't that taking horticultural quarantine just a little too far??? ;-) Here, in somebody's dreams at least, is a flight of CAC Boomerangs prowling over the maze of boulders and trees around the granite massif of Bald Rock -just north of Tenterfield. Hunting for Ha-Go light tanks? Or perhaps, just a training flight. My Boomerang model rendered in Poser 8 against a contemporary photo from the summit of Bald Rock (puff puff, puff). And for those of you who want to seriously prune some jungle trees I've also uploaded the Boomerang at ShareCG... http://www.ShareCG.com/v/58463/view/5/3D-Model/CAC-Boomerang Thanks for viewing and comments...

You never cease to amaze me! knew nothing about this, pity in a way the Battle of Boonnoo-noononoonooooo could have been a blast. Interesting indeed, but they've just declassified documents of Canadas plan to go to war with Britain in the 30's...including the assassination of all the British troops stationed 'in country', it's true! Sometimes what DIDN'T happen is more of a worry than what did ! Cool image, great model.....'running up hills for background photos......you're as mad as me :-)'

Boy, talk about a "sense of place"! This one really has it...lighting, perspective, and pov angle all fit like a glove. Beautiful execution...simple and elegant. The variations really contribute to the work. Most of us fail to realize that the first thing we sort out when we look at a picture is patterns...and that can be the first sense of "not right". Excellent render!!

Boomerang are rarely seen aircraft. I like them. I like the designations of the Aussies, Boonoo Boonoo and so on... :-)
