Jour 14
Near Goondiwindi Airport.
25 mars 2019, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
On the way in to Goondiwindi, just opposite the airport were interesting sculptures made from welded scrap metal. A huge sculptured crest included the words, Goondiwindi, resting place of the birds".

Over on the corner was a very nice area highly decorated with plants and sculptures. I particularly liked the way old spark plugs were used for the dog, s teeth.

Beyond all this and before the river was a large lagoon recently topped up by the recent rains.En savoir plus

Goondiwindi Lions Park
25 mars 2019, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
Another nice area with a water feature. The lagoon would have been a dried mud bed until the very recent rain. Goondiwindi has had 200mm of rain so it must take a lot to fill this lagoon.

Jour 15
Aboriginal Rock Wells at Weengallon
26 mars 2019, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Aboriginal Wells are found in many places across some of the most inhospitable lands of the Australian continent.

The Wells at Weengallon are filled from seepage of artesian water from great distances underground. The levels of water are higher than some of the surrounding terrain.

These Wells were culturally significant and allowed tribes to traverse seemingly impossible areas.En savoir plus

Thallon Silo Art and Wombat
26 mars 2019, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
Another example of Silo Art. We have seen this art first a year or two ago at Patchewollock VIC. This one was very well done and worth a look. Only thing is that you can't get really close.

The giant wombat statue is the hairy nosed wombat. This structure is interestingly designed to be claimed on.En savoir plus

Jour 15
Dirranbandi
26 mars 2019, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Dirranbandi is a very small town. Supermarket, hotel and bakery. They have managed to create a very nice park and appear to be constructing a significant Anzac memorial.

We enjoyed the park for a short lunch break.En savoir plus

Jour 15
Hebel. Last camp in Queensland.
26 mars 2019, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Hebel is very close to the Queensland border. A camp on the river here is quite good but as one finds in sheep country the flies are epic.

Every activity is hampered by swarms that seek out bodily moisture in eyes, nose, mouth and anywhere else they can. Today I have resorted to a fly veil.

Event hough the day was overcast there was a spectacular sunset. Rich deep reds that painted a full panorama, this is one of the most spectacular sights so far on this trip.

Pictured is our camper at night as it was at our Hebel Camp. The second picture is an unexpected sunset from the camp-site.En savoir plus

Amigo has built this as a tourist attraction. It is supposed to be an art gallery but sadly was closed when we were there.

Jour 16
Lightning Ridge, NSW
27 mars 2019, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Many hopeful miners have ventured to this area in search of the black opals. Some made it rich, some busted and others just hung around.

Once the kind of town you would expect to feature in a movie script, Lightning Ridge has a colourful past. Today the mining is large highly mechanised big money operations. The rules are strict and compliance is out of reach of most small operators.

Tourism is the new vogue and there are the cafes, accommodation and high end galleries to prove it. It is still worth a visit if you are heading past.En savoir plus
