Bath House

Bath House, State Mine Heritage Park, Lithgow

I could show you squillions of other images from the mining museum but will stop at these taken in the bath house where miners changed from the street clothes to mining gear and vice versa. It previously housed Lithgow's first power station.

Out the window on the bottom right you can see a railway car. The Heritage Park is also home to railway heritage items, were looking at them next.

  1. ooo ... goodie to the railway heritage items.

    One can only believe that it would have been chilly to bathe in this room.

    I dont have my heaters on yet, but yesterday, I put the blanket on my bed, lowered the windows to 1" lowered the venetians and closed down their angle. I will need to do more in about another two weeks, I suspect but dont want to shut up shop completely as my poor kitties need to be able to come and go!

  3. This is all in the past. But, in comparison to Saarland, mining must still be big business in Australi

  4. I love these interior shots. The dusty/worn look is beautiful.

  5. Julie,yes I reckon is would be chilly but I guess there were some walls in there then. It was glorious weather down at the beach this weekend.

    Bill and Megan, thank you. I glad you are enjoying.

    AB, mining is huge in Australia, representing close to 40% of all exports. There is boom going on at the moment, especially to China.

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.

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.
