Wollar

s

The day I visited this town it was the day I made a decision to go find a little laid back country town like this and buy a property. And a year or so later we did, you can read about it over at Whistlers Rest.

So Wollar has held a place in my heart.  But in researching a little of its history I find it likely doesn't have a present let alone a future.  It was bought out by a mining company a year ago!

See Wollar as it was over at 100 towns.

    I hope there are no worries for those who used to live there.

    This is one of your towns I've been to. Hope the mine doesn't wreck the village (and your serenity).

    I really like the photo with its "no worries" and smiled seeing it. Than I read your post - a company buying a town. I am just reading the Telegraph article, I didn't know about these things before. Strange. And sad.

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.

Big sky country 3

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.
