A big congratulations to 'Merv319' for his winning photo of the two gas MAN's at Tuggeranong - voted by you as the best photo of 2011!

Congratulations to 743 for his excellent submission too - certainly no shame in coming second out of all the quality photos submitted in 2011 :)

Congratulations to the winners.

I'd give an honorable mention to Zac's ex-Bus 670 on Anzac Parade...it is very good.
