Moving south to Gilgandra, NSW

Headed to Gilgandra to stop a few nights.  It was 29 deg C in mid October Monday 14, 2019 when we arrived.  We drove around in our vehicle for awhile each day, that way we could keep cooler.
These photos just a small part of the scenery near the town.
We have stayed in Gilgandra before and a post of some of the town is here.










The house above just there in the paddock with no shelter just a few trees and some distance from the highway.

  1. It looks hot and dry. You captured the town's beauty in the link you provided. Definitely a nice place to visit and explore. Thanks for sharing.

    1. It was hot and dry but it's a lovely town, we have stayed there several times over the years often in a motel as we didn't always take our caravan.

  2. A very dry landscape. It has its beauty nevertheless.

  3. Pocos árboles hy, que puedan dar sombra, ante los calientes rayos de sol.

  4. Definitely hot and dry. And flat. It has an austere beauty of its own though.

    1. It's like many inland towns with it's own beauty even if it was dry and hot.

    1. So many places we travelled last year were of such dry areas, but there was a drought and I'm not sure it's broken as yet.

  6. Thanks for the photos of Gilgandra, another nice NSW town and another one we only stopped at for fuel. It seems to be the way we travel, but we do stop and enjoy many of the towns too, just timing really as we are always on the lookout for an overnight stop around mid afternoon and usually stay overnight in the free camping spots.

    1. You're welcome Rosie.
      We have often stopped in Gilgandra, it's rather nice town and I do know what you mean when travelling.

  7. I expect several clumps of trees might improve the environment rather a lot.

    1. I'm sure they would, not many trees in that particular area though.

  8. There are lovely deserts. Is that a light pole that resembles a saguaro cactus?

    1. Yes that's a light pole, too perfect for a cacti Bill.

    1. Most of the outback Australian towns are like that, a long way from another town.

    1. Those cacti are rather large though they do take a long time to get that tall.
