I spotted these emus on the pub at Hebel. We saw quite a few real emus out in the paddocks and I have one more to show you tomorrow as we are leaving Lightning Ridge.

William Wordsworth
This image is a bit confoosing for my poor brain. Is any of that blue actual-sky?
ReplyDeleteNo. It is trick of the eye stuff
DeleteClever
Deletewhat interesting characters ... I'm sure you'll see many of the real - deal emus before your travels are through.
ReplyDeleteYep. Plenty out that way.
DeleteI've just been looking around google maps at Hebel (which I have never heard of) - I didn't realize Lightning Ridge was up so high. I think I thought it was out near Broken Hill!
ReplyDeleteThe opal fields out near Broken Hill are White Cliffs. I hadn't really thought about Lightning Ridge but there was a sign on the highway to Mudgee saying it was only 6 hours drive away and that got me thinking of going there one day. That sign isn't there any more.
DeleteWhat an awesome painting/mural. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely though on a very unassuming building. See the previous post for the full picture of the pub.
