Here are some more photos I took at MacquarieCon prize giving. These photos have also been added to the Australian RPG Conventions [1] group on flickr.

Doesn’t happen very often, being Summer in December, but there was a white Christmas this year in Australia. On the Snowy Mountains in Victoria and NSW, and on Mount Wellington in Tasmania it snowed on Christmas eve, which was much welcomed by the fire fighters battling bushfires.

Having recently started to upload MacquarieCon photos to flicker I went looking for a flickr group of Australian roleplaying conventions, or any group with photos from role playing games in Australia.

Finding no group with appropriate content I decided to create one. The result is the Australian RPG Conventions flickr group.

Currently it has my photos, and I have invited people with photos from Sydcon. Unfortunately I haven’t found photos from other Australian conventions on flickr, but if you have them join the group and add your photos.

I have started uploading photos I took at MacquarieCon to flickr. Interesting as a con, a more in depth review later.

Here are thumbnails of images uploaded so far:
