This is on the Castlereagh Highway between St George and Hebel in Queensland. The roadworks were part of a massive programme, still in ongoing in December 2012, to repair the road after major flooding caused widespread damage in January 2010.

Ile de Ré Reflections: Oysters for lunch -- from La Flotte, bought at the market in Ars-en-Ré.

A la cuisine hier: Apple crumble.

I love the "deterent" aspect...
but they may also be carrying equipment that requires a known source as a calibrator...
viz: for a GM tube...
in a school lab, zeroing against the backgrouns count is fine...
I would suspect that it would not be fine commercially and you'd have to calibrate against a known source.
And the sight of that wibbly oyster in macro turned my stomach!!
Yeurch! I am not a fan of raw oyster...
I'd much prefer the apple crumble!!!
With nice THICK Birds English Custard...
or even tinned Ambrosia Devon Custard....
that's settled the stomach in a virtual way!!
Tim: Home made custard (not from powder) or nothing in this house!
Re calibrated equipment -- yes very likely, but these guys often carry radioactive samples too.
I wasn't excluding the samples...
having used the GM apparatus, they'd most likely grab a few chunks for closer analysis.
The only time I really like home made custard is in a custard tart, or similar... which you just cannot make from powder... the mouthfeel is all
wrong.
And the "virtual" stomach settling was totally undone when I closed the comment pop-up....
there was the ghastly, wibbly grey thing!! Wibbling!!
Tim: surely oysters don't wibble any more than custard from a box?
