Downside
The painted timber buildings are lovely but their is a downside in Queensland's sunny climate.
By the way the nights continued quite cold and frosty but the days were nice rising to 16-17C. Just our luck for Queensland to be having a cold snap. Where were the 20C days we were expecting?
You tell me. We've had to have the air conditioning on to warm us and then it decided to die. Still waiting for a replacement. Our timber house needs a coat of timber stain but it doesn't look as shabby as when paint deteriorates.
Haha, the 20+C Degree days are all over here on the West side!! 27 today in Carnarvon!! Loving your Queensland series - it's bringing back good memories!
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.
You have had to go further north for that this year I'm afraid. Even the gulf had 10C nights.

ReplyDeleteIt was 5 degrees when we were out and about today so relatively the time in Queensland was warm.
DeleteLet's look at the upside, the paintwork on our house might last longer.
