Sugar cane
As we nudged our way up to Mackay we saw our first sugar cane plantations. I know, I know we are going to see lots more of it but it was exciting to welcome these first stands.
I had been right up north as a kid but remembered hardly anything. On the other hand, my husband went up there as a kid about the same age and remembered heaps. I dunno what I was doing ... sleeping probably.
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've never been through this part of Queensland before so looking forward to seeing it through your eyes.

DeleteWhen the flower blooms it is time to harvest so you might not see lots more.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, we discovered that those flowers mean harvest time.
DeleteI don't think I've ever noticed the flowers before!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't either. They are so pretty with loads and loads of pinkish fluffy flowers across the field. There are more shots somewhere in the sequence.
