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.

    Possibly an unfortunate name. I like the acknowledgement of "country".

    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.

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

    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

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

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.
