Risen

Down by Coolaburragundy River (near Coolah) at dawn. Happy Easter.

Canary Street Clandulla 7 of 7

We've reached the railway line towards the end of the street. Though the station is abandoned the line is still used daily for a coal train from the Charbon mine. That's it for our street. I hope you enjoyed the walk.  I didn't show you much of the houses but let me say that it's a mix of tin sheds, low cost demountables and kit homes, ancient patched up cottages, and  a couple of brick houses.  Every place seems to have an animal or two. We saw cats, dogs, goats, a calf, horses, hens and rabbits as well as wild birds -- wrens, finches, willy wagtails and parrots but no canaries.

Now that is an unexpected image for this street.  It's on a small dam at the bottom of one of the gardens. I think going for a row would get a bit circular.

Some of the animals are a little bit different.

And a little further down the street we met this guy who seemed sad that he couldn't come closer to say.  There doesn't seem to be a single house without a dog.

A few houses down we met this neighbour with the young couple who were cleaning out their garage on this delightful sunny Autumn morning.

That's our next door neighbour, about to build his house.  The beautiful mountains are our neighbour over the back fence and below is what it looks like across the road from our front fence.  It's the town oval which the local kids use as motor bike circuit.  I've not seen it used for anything else.
