    I thought the people shots were done with for longer but when I prepared the sequence for this trip they seemed to fit best here. Most of these were taken before the mountains shots.

    BTW I am slowly becoming addicted to people ... there is such an element of serendipity in doing them.

    Nice shot of the guy in contemplative mood.

    I almost did not notice the colour. It does not highlight here, as it does in the other photos.

    He? hmm .. I thought "now this is an angry woman, Joan Elizabeth should be careful" ... ;-)
    I like the selective colouring.

    It was definitely a he. I took the shot because of his interesting pajamas. I was quite a distance away so did not see the expression on his face until I got home ... which by the way was probably just because of the glare of the sun, he was very friendly like most people in caravan parks.

    Why get up early in Kiama Caravan Park (or any cp) to fill your lungs and the surrounds with fumes! No wonder he looks pained.

    Glad the trays on utes are strong!

Larras Lee

We passed through Bakers Swamp without noticing anything.  Then reached our last dot on the map for this trip - Larras Lee and saw this.  The roadside monument says: In Memory of  WILLIAM LEE  (1794 - 1870)  of "Larras Lake"  a pioneer of the sheep  and cattle industry  and first member for  Roxburgh under responsible  government (1856 - 1859).  This stone was erected  by his descendants.  --- 1938 --- This is a repost from a few days ago. Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one. William was born of convict parents, living his childhood years around the Sydney region. In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well. A few years later he was granted a ram and an inc...

The end

I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog -  My Bright Field  - to record the delights of my new life adventure. If you are interested follow me over there.  I will still be Sweet Wayfaring and collecting Royal Hotels.  The delights I discover along the way will appear together with my gardens and towns where I live.

Yetholme

Our last stop on this trip was to see if there was anything left of an old town once called Frying Pan which was later renamed Yetholme.  I knew Yetholme to be a roadhouse on the highway near the pine forests and didn't expect to find anything but again I was wrong.  There was a lovely little settlement  with homes, a neat community hall and a church still in use.  The perfect spot for the creatively inspired. Apparently it was a tourist town back in the early 1900s and in more recent years was bypassed by the Great Western Highway leaving it to settle into its pleasant tranquil existence, hidden from the travellers speeding by. I remembered it is Tuesday so have added a supplementary photo to participate in Taphophile Tragics  this week.  This is St Paul's Anglican Church in Yetholme.  The burials in the church yard date from the 1873 to the present day. You can see a little more of  Yetholme  over at 100 Towns.
