The countryside around Eugowra is very rocky. We were travelling along Escort Way, and quickly got the idea that bushrangers once lurked behind those rocks.
Visit Eugowra and learn of its history over at 100 Towns.
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."
The bushrangers sure liked the rocky granite country, so I'm sure they would have hidden out if there was something to rob!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumn colours!
ReplyDeleteGreat Autumn colours.
ReplyDeleteThe autumn colour has not been great this year so it was nice to catch some looking good.
DeleteI don't know much about our bushrangers. I must rectify that. Shan't live long enough.
ReplyDeleteIs there an apostrope in shant/shan't? I guess it is 'shall not' so maybe it should be "sha'n't" ... looks like a swathe of fly droppings.
Not sure about bushrangers ... they are just criminals .. though I guess the same can be said of convicts.
DeleteYour musings about "shall not" amused me. I looked it up and alternatives are shan't, shalln't and shan'n't. I can't believe anyone would use that last one.
