Along the way we had a rest in the Pilliga area which is also a National Park, no we didn't venture into the park as walking a fair distance is out of the question as we are past that!
The photos above and below are of the rest area where we got out and stretched out legs and had a walkabout.
Heading towards another town Coonabarrabran which we have stayed in for a few days in the past.
It's a lovely area coming through the mountains and hills. There is a Telescope up on a mountain which we visited a few years ago. Siding Spring Telescope it's called and in the Warrumbungle National Park where there were bushfires a few years ago, as you can see the trees have regenerated...
The town clock in the middle of the roundabout the main street plus it's the Highway.
Below is the Visitors Information Centre which was another rest stop for us back in winter 2019.
The Pilliga NSW is that area with the red around it.
I love the town clock in the roundabout. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
Thanks Bill.

ReplyDeleteMe ha encantado la torre del reloj.

Always good to get out and walk about after sitting for a fair while.
DeleteIt is a nice clock in a good place as one can't miss it.
I am used to the memorial (with names) to the wardead being in the centre of town. A clock is different, and looks great.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the Warrambungles a beautiful name? Many (many, many) years ago we had a family holiday camping there.
Can relate to memorials being in the middle of the towns, especially country towns have seen many in our travels.
DeleteGood up the Warrambungles, the range is amazing as you drive up to part of it or from a distance going down the highway - what fun to camp in those rangers way back :)
Margaret you live in a beautiful country.
ReplyDeleteI believe so too Gosia :)
DeleteWhat a great clock tower, and quite unusual.
ReplyDeleteYes it is unusual and it has names of those in the Wars too.
DeleteThere are so many awesome towns in this wonderful country
ReplyDeleteThere are Jo-Anne, some better than others but they are all good.
DeleteIt is wonderful to be able to travel and visit places like you do. I like the clock tower in the middle of the roundabout.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice clock and War Memorial/all rolled into one.
DeleteWell I suppose travelling of this Island won't happen for a long time now, but travelling on this Island will happen when we are permitted to Nancy.
Palliga looks beautiful place to visit dear friend
ReplyDeleteyour shots are intriguing indeed ,specially the long endless road looks fascinating :) i see in movies and pause :)
i enjoyed each glimpse so much ,serene
There are a lot of long endless roads in Australia more so inland than on the East Coast Baili.
DeleteA great time to review past travels during this period when you are unable to leave Tasmania.
ReplyDeleteThat's so true. It will be a long time before we can venture off this Island David, might be never for we may not want to go again, this year we were not going before Covid-19.
DeleteWarrumbungle … what a great name!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your photographs, I like the clock tower.
All the best Jan
Yes, we have some wonderful weird names I guess of places, often Aboriginal names.
