Rural landscape 1 or 3


Let's get the ball rolling with some landscape shots taken at the edge of the town of Mudgee. They are just pretty pictures but that is the point - it is pretty country around here.

    Yeah, I love all those names too - Dunnedoo especially.

    I am considering Grenfell for the Queens Bday LWE 2011 for the Henry Lawson Festival.

    Gulgong has a Henry Lawson Festival too and a Henry Lawson Museum. The town has also has a quite large jam packed local history museum too. Worth a visit.

    Happy travels!!

Larras Lee

Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one.
