Whyalla exploring


I guess no visit to Whyalla is complete without a visit to the steel works.

  1. It looks rather deserted and sad.

    1. It is fully functioning but I guess a lot more jobs are automated these days and with all that coal and soot about it does have a certain grittiness about it.

      We were on a bus tour and not allowed off the bus for safety reasons I guess.

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.
