Mount Morgan


We've stopped travelling north via the inland and heading towards the coast, stopping by the interesting old town of Mount Morgan.  It's a mining town where a mountain of gold eventually became a big open cut hole.  Now I wanted to see down that hole but the only way to get a look is to take a 2 hour mine tour.  We gave it a miss but took a quick tour of the railway museum.

What a pretty railway station.

Today I received a comment on my post of an abandoned building at Murga (one from my 100 Towns project last year). It was from a lady who was born in the home and was the last family that lived there.  You might be interested in popping over there to read her story.

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.
