Railmotor


It was the centenary of the railway link so on Sunday there was a celebratory ride from Gulgong to Dunedoo.  We decided to take the trip on the old railmotor brought in from Newcastle for the occasion. It was shaping up to be another wet day.

  1. Many, many years ago (middle of last century) in the far flung reaches of our universe (Denman) we had a railmotor (Tuesday and Thursday) which came from Muswellbrook and thence to Merriwa. It looked just like that.

  3. Julie, This one did its service over that way, if i remember rightly. In the middle of last century where I lived it was all steam trains, until sometime in the 60s.

    Red, I can't see it taking on ... wait for the rest of the story.

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.
