The Mackintyre River being border between New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland.
The town has flooded in the past when there was a lot of rain.
Tree of knowledge: The old Carbeen Tree, situated inside the Memorial to the Levee could tell many a tale. It is a meeting place for the town when the river is in flood but many years ago it was used as a notice board.
Goondiwindi is the hub for agriculture producing a diverse range of crops and fibres including wool and beef, cotton, sorghum, corn, wheat, barley and chickpeas.
Bonito punete, el que une estos dos territorios. El río en su cauceveo que deja maravillosos pasiajes.

It's different there to see the river and that bridge which is different.
Deletewow your photos are amazing love from Katowice
ReplyDeleteThanks Gosia.
DeleteLovely photos! Nicely composed photos of the bridge and views. The Tree of Knowledge is nice to see.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. We have a few trees of knowledge in Australia. You would think one was enough:)
DeleteLove that bridge - and we could all do with a Tree of Knowledge.
ReplyDeleteOh indeed we could do with several at the moment :)
DeleteEl puente es muy guapo y lo has captado muy bien. ¡bonito lugar!
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo, Margaret.
Thank you Jordi.
DeleteIt's a great bridge. We had a tree of knowledge here but it was poisoned and died. The history of the Goodiwindi tree is interesting.
ReplyDeleteVery different bridge Andrew.
DeleteDidn't know that their was one in the Melbourne area, there are a few situated in various places. We stood there for ages reading all about the goings on of Goondiwindi.
Amazing photos of a lovely place
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice place there and the town is lovely.
DeleteGoondiwindi is such a wonderful name! I love the bridge and that warty old tree.
ReplyDeleteSome towns have some funny names and sometimes they are hard to pronounce.
DeleteIt is a great name! I like that bridge.
ReplyDeleteName is easy to say, and that was the best I could do with a photo of that bridge as too many trees about. A lot of flies as well, had to keep the mouth well closed there.
DeleteIf only that tree could talk...spill the beans! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes Lee, if only and what a tale/s it would tell.
DeleteThe naming is great. The tree is a symbol of people's struggle to change the land fertile. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct re struggle for the land.
DeleteThank you.
The name alone would induce me to make a visit!
ReplyDeleteDifferent name as many places have.
DeleteMuy interesante Margaret. Besos y salud.
