  • AUSTRALIA DAY Competition Time

    Tomorrow is Australia Day down here Oz.
    To celebrate I am giving away a car set from the 1st Mad Max movie. How Aussie can you get right.

    The competition is a simple guessing competition.
    All you have to do is guess how many opals are in my chip jar.
    These ‘rough’ opals are from our opal claim in western NSW. Do you get Opal Hunters on your tv? They aren’t worth much due to size or quality so they get bundled up in to a ‘chip jar’. Not sure what you do with it after that. I guess pull it out occasionally to show friends. We have had this jar for 20 years.

    Anyway, back to the topic on hand.
    One guess per member, per day. You need to police this yourself as the time difference makes it hard for me to do so.
    Everyone is welcome to play.

    I have a bit going on over the next few days, funeral and family coming to stay, so I may not spot the winner straight away or be around to offer hints.


    Right, here you go,

    I haven’t counted the stones yet, so I will do that when I get a spare moment and give you a hint on the range to focus on.

              Sorry to hear of your loss, but glad to see you back around! Thank you for the game!

              My guess for 1/24 is 210
              The image file limits have been reset. Upper limits now are 100,000 when we have some images that exceed 5,000,000. I've set the pixels for no more than 1000 across the longest side, so if you resize to that all should be well. (The limits are larger than what I typically use, and my images turn out just fine, so I know it shouldn't be a problem)

              Thank you for your understanding.
