We decided to return via Mount Canobolas which is near Orange. As we climbed, the mountain met the clouds, so whatever view there is from the summit we couldn't see it. Communications towers came in and out of sight as the mist swirled around.
We crossed the border into Victoria cruising down a lovely timbered road before breaking into the rich dairy country of Gippsland. It is wonderful to see the land green after more than 10 years of very dry weather. But most of the state of Victoria is still drought declared. Musing: The Pasture by Robert Frost "I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; I'll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I sha'n't be gone long. You come too. I'm going out to fetch the little calf That's standing by the mother. It's so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I sha'n't be gone long. You come too."
Too bad you had no views. We have those towers all over the place as well. They are a bit of an eye sore.
ReplyDeleteNow Mount Canobalas is a name that swims to me out of my childhood. Can never really work out why. Think we may have taken weekend trips out that way.
ReplyDeleteFog always creates such soft images. Even the towers look interesting, must be the shroud effect.
