Stuart Town







Next we rolled down the road to Stuart Town, yet another railway town, but unlike most (and the sign left on the chalk board) this one is visited daily by the Sydney-Dubbo XPT passenger service.

I was interested in the unusual church-like portico on the railway station.  Closer inspection revealed that it is only ever visited by spiders and pigeons.

  1. It's an unusual portico for a railway station, isn't it?

    Regarding the chalk board: seems like someone was waiting too long ;-)

  2. It does look like a church portico. Does the XPT actually stop here?

  4. Really unusual. I thought it was a church until I saw the chalked "next train."

  5. Yep, the XPT stops here on the way to Dubbo in the morning and on the way back to Sydney at the end of the day. There are other CountryLink Bus Services throughout the day.

  6. At first I thought it was a church, but it's a lovely train station building.

  7. I really like the detail shots, especially the little charlk board with useful messages. ;)

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.
