Bushranger country
The countryside around Eugowra is very rocky. We were travelling along Escort Way, and quickly got the idea that bushrangers once lurked behind those rocks.
Visit Eugowra and learn of its history over at 100 Towns.
Not sure about bushrangers ... they are just criminals .. though I guess the same can be said of convicts.
Your musings about "shall not" amused me. I looked it up and alternatives are shan't, shalln't and shan'n't. I can't believe anyone would use that last one.
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.
The bushrangers sure liked the rocky granite country, so I'm sure they would have hidden out if there was something to rob!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumn colours!
ReplyDeleteGreat Autumn colours.
ReplyDeleteThe autumn colour has not been great this year so it was nice to catch some looking good.
DeleteI don't know much about our bushrangers. I must rectify that. Shan't live long enough.
ReplyDeleteIs there an apostrope in shant/shan't? I guess it is 'shall not' so maybe it should be "sha'n't" ... looks like a swathe of fly droppings.
