Sue and I just got home from a little getaway so I am catching up on your travel posts. I had no idea that Australia produced so much produce. Irrigation is the miracle I suppose.
ReplyDeleteMartina and Julie, more sky and another very interesting landscape change coming up the day after tomorrow when we cross the Hay Plains ... so watch this space.

Beautiful photography. I love it!
