Charters Towers


After a brief sojourn by the sea we headed back inland to the mining city of Charters Towers a major regional centre.  As you can see we are back in the dry country.

I had wanted to reach here via the inland rather than going back to the sea but there was little to no mobile coverage on the 500km stretch of road and nowhere with reliable supply for us to stay for the night to allow me to do my work.

It's the weekend again. I will take you for a walk tomorrow.

    That is a fair way inland.

      Not really ... It is less than 150Kms from Townsville.

      The 500kms was from Atherton down to Charters Towers. But we did those via the coast road.

    Look forward to the walk.
    Not sure we will make it up that way so enjoying your view of it.

      Thanks Jo. I enjoy your water views because I don't like being out on boats much so see something I don't normally see.

    It's a bugger when you have to have a mobile connection to work, but great that you can combine travel with work all the same. Happy travels...

      Yeh I'm not complaining. It sure beats the 2.5 hour each way commute to the city that I used to do.

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.
