South Australia
Yep we are in South Australia with it's characteristic stone houses. Soon we will be passing by the Flinders Ranges which we enjoyed so much a year or two ago. But I knew what to expect this time, to see none of the wonderous detail we enjoyed on that trip. They would just flash by like this house.
Yes long distance trail travel is certainly better than suburban city travel. I was only thinking that today as we went down to the city ... most of the time I could not even be bothered looking out the window.
A very familial South Aussie rural scene .... I always wonder about the story behind old abandoned stone cottages ....who lived there? What happened to them?
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.
I am thinking I need to plan myself a road trip to SA.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying your train journey :)
A road trip is definitely worth it. But is it is a long way to drive.
DeleteI love SA, think I could live there.
ReplyDeleteYes it does seem very liveable. I thought the same when we went down on our Flinders trip.
DeleteThat is a problem with train travel and in cities you always see the grotty backs of commercial buildings.

ReplyDeleteThose lovely stone cottages are so typical of South Australia aren't they. They hold such a lot of history of those first eager settlers.
