Gaudy Royal
We pushed on from Wondai towards Gympie and the coast. As we were passing through Murgon we spotted the gaudiest Royal Hotel thus far. Murgon is actually another rather attractive town.
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 Green and The Gold ... what were they thinking?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a sales gimmick to attract the attention of wayward travelers.
I think it stands out, hard to miss!
