On the way we came across cobwebs on the trees with frost on them.
The country side appeared to be a bit dry for early winter it was later in our journey that we came across the drought.
Sheep are seen in the long paddock, and some might recall the meaning of the long paddock - it's the side of the road for km or miles where cattle or sheep feed.
We turned to the left at the junction
A few of the houses as we went through a town
This photo was taken as we were moving along so hence it might be a bit blurred.
lovely landscape shot
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteI am imagine that you must have enjoyed capturing the frost with your camera being as it was a new phenomenon for you to experience, but I must admit that I too am surprised to see it in Australia.
ReplyDeleteThe frost was something like I had never seen before, we do have frost in Tasmania where I live in winter but certainly not as hard as the ones we saw.
DeleteMany places within Australia do have heavy frosts, mostly inland ones, it's just the we don't hear about it until we visit.
Se nota el frío en la primera imagen. El ganado lo tiene que pasar más con el largo período de sequía.

The long paddock as it's called comes in handy if feed to the sheep and cows becomes scares.
DeleteAnd you thought you left Tasmania to get away from the frost!
ReplyDeleteHa! Yes indeed, but never mind certainly a hard frost there in that area, we were soon out of it.
DeleteNice photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam.
DeleteSchöne Bilder von der Reise die Aufnahme von der Landschaft ist klasse.

Thanks Noke.
DeleteI love the rolling hills photo.
ReplyDeleteWas beautiful bit of scenery looking back to that and seeing a lake in the distance...pretty drive through there.
DeleteI have visited the Murrurundi area on a number of occasions in my younger days.
ReplyDeleteIt is a really friendly place and quite fertile......farming land there in the 50/60/70's
were priceless.
I dread the idea of having to use "the long paddock". City slickers have no idea, careful, observant driving is a necessity. Stock in my books comes well and truly first in front of speed.
Great photos.
Bushranger Ben Hall's family came from this area.
Cheers

Lovely scenery in that area Colin. Saw the monument to Ben Hall wasn't in the best of places to take a photo of it...
DeleteBeautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Krishna.

ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne.
DeleteIt's been quite a while since I last heard the term "long paddock". Lovely photos :)
ReplyDeleteThanks River. Each time we go north we always see at least one long paddock :)
DeleteI've probably said it many times, but many of your pictures remind me of the central valley of California. I Know I've also mentioned I enjoy see examples of Australian buildings.
ReplyDeleteYes I remember :)
DeleteAbsolutely stunning of countrysides, love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob.
DeleteI'm very fond of old houses.
