Forty Bends Road, South Bowenfels 7 of 7

The road rejoins the highway
Here we are back at the highway and the end of this road.

I found the following on the Roads and Maritime website

RMS IS PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT A THREE LANE UPGRADE AT FORTY BENDS

Realigning the highway at Forty Bends would improve safety and reliability of travel and reduce the likelihood of crashes and potential road closures in winter months due to the formation of black ice. Other safety benefits would include reduced grades and smoother curves.

It seems a few more of the old bends are going to disappear.

    It's a shame the road will lose its character, but I'm sure the benefits are more important! You'll just have to search even harder for those hidden gems!!

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.
