End of day 1


We are beginning to leave the hills behind and enter the broad wheat and sheep country. By the end of trip we had seen dozens of wheat silos standing sentinal beside railway sidings like the one below. The temperature was still sky high but the clouds were gathering nicely as we rolled into Grenfell to set up camp for the night.

  1. The second photo is so nice - you took the photo out of the car window?
    I really like the colours. There is something about this photo ... intriguing.

  2. Yes, Martina, taken from the car window. Dry landscape, afternoon light and gathering rain clouds I guess have contributed to the colours.

  3. Grenfell - Henry Lawson country.

    We Aussies are an ornery bunch. There is an old NSW cricketer called Geoff Lawson. His nick-name is Henry.

Windy August

Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale.  Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.

Big sky country 3

The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull!  But there is something of interest in the image.  These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today.  On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
