Boree


We passed through Cudal, which I have already shown on 100 towns.  Went in search of Bowan Park which was a farming locality then took in Boree, the last dot on the map for this trip.

There was not really anything at Boree but this lovely cluster of rural buildings was not far up the road.

I've added Bowan Park and Boree as localities at 100 towns.

    They're abandoned as well I'm guessing. It's a lovely tableau.

    They sort of growed, Miss Topsy said. Love those prongs of weed in the foreground. Used to know their name, but the old brain aint what it used to be.

    Actually while I type this, one of the cats is licking my moving fingers. Very off-putting ...

      I also liked that aspect of this photo. I don't know the the name of those weeds are but the remind me of woody weeds we used to call Stinking Roger when we were kids.

    Love this image. So Australian and no doubt those walls would have many stories to tell.

Listening to the stars

In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town.  On another wayfaring trip  we visited the radio telescope at Parkes  but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.

Larras Lee

We passed through Bakers Swamp without noticing anything.  Then reached our last dot on the map for this trip - Larras Lee and saw this.  The roadside monument says: In Memory of  WILLIAM LEE  (1794 - 1870)  of "Larras Lake"  a pioneer of the sheep  and cattle industry  and first member for  Roxburgh under responsible  government (1856 - 1859).  This stone was erected  by his descendants.  --- 1938 --- This is a repost from a few days ago. 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. William was born of convict parents, living his childhood years around the Sydney region. In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well.
