Big thing


No holiday is complete without at least one big thing.

As we approached the mountains the traffic began to crawl.  We sighed thinking it was an accident or the interminable road works blocking the road but as we neared the power station at Wallerawang the source of the problem was turning into the side road.  It was one of those big mining/power station things  ... remember the one we saw at Miles.  Well I kid you not, this one had even more wheels, five trucks pulling it and three trucks pushing!  I grabbed the shot as we sped past, free from the traffic jam at last.

There is a much bigger bit of it outside the frame of this shot.

That is the end of this journey. I hope you have enjoyed the trip ... we did.

  1. No trip is complete without being held up by a moving-house or some such thing. But this one looks huge ... fortunately you were soon on your way.

  2. You're right - there's nothing quite like a 'Big Thing' to spice up your journey, especially an unexpected one like this!! But that's what living in a country devoted to mining $$$ looks like, I guess!!

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.
