Town spotting


Well we are not going by train.  We are in the car on a new town spotting trip.  The area we are exploring is west of the mountains between Lithgow and Bathurst.  It's the hilly patch where dark pine forests cover the hills.

We are off into those forests to places with quaint names like Sunny Corner, Dark Corner and driving Mt Horrible road to Lime Kilns.  Let's go see what's there.

  1. This will be an interesting car journey Joan .... I've only been through Bathurst on the way from Adelaide to Sydney .... So I'm looking forward to seeing these little country places with quaint names like Mt Horrible and Lime Kilns.

  3. Another photo that could have been taken here! :-)

    Regarding your comment on the Oryx hunting in Texas:
    Millions of animals are killed to feed humans. Isn't that enough??? Shooting endangered animals in captivity so you can have a head and a pair of horns hanging on your living room wall is totally sick and it really shows the nature of some of us! And you know what? I bet those people call themselves christians and might even be very religious. I honestly think they have serious psychological problems and need urgent therapy! Killing for pleasure? It's the 21st century, it simply isn't a normal behaviour.

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.
