Shire of Bland
We are going to go south of the main route today, but we've gotta go through more wheat and sheep country first. It's wide, getting flatter and monotonous ... aptly named I think.
Ha! I remember seeing that sign! Is West Wyalong around there? I usually find something charming about most country towns but it was difficult with WW - it just didn't have a good feel.
Hello. Now I discover you have 2 wonderful blogs. I will have to follow both. I think I will enjoy your road trip. My wife and I did a really good one in October - we spent 8 days retracing old Route 66 from Tulsa to Santa Fe. to see too many photos link to: http://tulsagentleman.blogspot.com/2009/10/route-66-roadtrip-tulsa-to-santa-fe.html
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.
Possibly an unfortunate name. I like the acknowledgement of "country".

Yes WW is in the Shire of Bland. I didn't mind WW ... they have a Royal Hotel :-)

ReplyDeleteThat is so funky. Reminds me of certain parts of the Midwest, where the only thing you see is wheatfields for miles and miles.
