Sofala


This week drove from Clandulla to Bathurst to meet our latest grand-nephew.  I love the hilly countryside on the Ilford-Bathurst road which looks even more picturesque with the old gold mining town of Sofala nestled in the valley and hugging the hills.

We had lunch at the Old Goal Cafe and Collectables.

  1. It looks like beautiful country out there, and nice weather too.

    1. Nice weather that day. It's been a mixed bag lately.

  2. Love those rolling hills. They're a lot greener than they here. Interesting cloud formation, too.

    Great use of framing in the second photo.

    1. We have had quite a lot of rain.

      It took hubby to point out the doors to me. I was saying the place looked nothing like a gaol.

    1. I would certainly miss being able to travel all over the countryside. Though I nearly always use the train to go to the city.

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.
