Warialda to Texas

We continued onto  Warialda where we have stayed before, photos of the town are here.
On this post we have the 'oval' with lights on as the sunset.  In the morning time I took a photo across the road of that 'green' house.  Yes, I don't like houses painted that colour.
Then up the road on our way out a house with so many ornaments it's hard to see them all, but that is ok because the people that live there love them.
Then more photos as we travelled towards Texas and a sign not that far from Texas which is near enough on the border of New South Wales and Queensland, yet the weather was still not warm as we approached north in winter where it usually is warmer.

A good time was had at Warialda as we ventured with another couple staying at the caravan park to the golf club for dinner, a tasty Chinese meal where tablecloths were checked - wow, it's been sometime since I've sat at a dinning table with that type of cloth.

  1. I don't like green but that house sure stands out. That is a very fanciful fence.

    1. Lol, it sure does. Couldn't imagine opening my drapes every morning and have to look at it. The people obvious like that colour, and that is fine for them.

      Not for me at all either.

    1. Usually up north the skies are ever so blue with hardly a cloud in winter.
      First time I've seen the oval with lights on.

  7. Well if you can't have green paddocks, just paint your home a rather bilious green as a reminder of what once was in this very once fertile area of NSW.
    I was wondering what route you'd take from Manilla/Barraba and much relieved that it was not again via Boggabilla and "Gundi".
    "Gundi" I have great memories of - the bridge over the McIntyre / Barwon river - east the Mc and west the Barwon. Kids could jump into the same river with the different names - ha ha. I think the swimming pool for "Gundi" was on the Barwon side of the bridge.
    Terrible to see that bareness in the paddocks - hard to imagine that it could be worse.
    Strangely enough I've never been to Texas in Australia. The US version was a nightmare of big hatted yahooing, gun strapped "cowboys" and the the females, the less said the better - painted barbie "dolls" with piercing vocal chords!
    Cheers

    1. Came through Boggabilla on the way home Colin, not much choice in roads as you know.
      It is a dreadful green in my book is that house.
      A couple of blinks and you miss Texas NSW. It's a small town, Fuel stop and shop a few houses and that's about it. I believe about 750 people and they even have a caravan park I believe, though we didn't stop there of course.

  8. Well, there is green and there is green and that is house is the most hideous shade of green there is.

    Checked table clothes, just like at the old Pizza Hut restaurants.

    1. Some greens are ok, but yuk on that green house.
      A Chinese man was the cook at the golf club, he cooked a mean meal :)

  9. You see some strange sites in country towns but the landscape is still beautiful even when dry.

  12. Otro excelente reportaje, que aunque es una zona agreste la que nos muestra, no deja por ello de ser bonito e interesante, para los que vivimos en otras latitudes.
    Gracias, Margaret.
    Un cordial saludo.
