Deloraine is a town on the banks of the Meander River 50km west of Launceston, Tasmania Australia.
I used to work at the old hospital then the new one for a few years being in charge of both many times, now that Hospital is a Community Centre.
Deloraine is the town for the rural community in the area, it's clean and inviting.
These photos are but a few of the river from my archives.
I'm never tired of rivers and bridges. Lucky people those of Deloraine to live on the banks of Meander River!
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed lucky Duta.
DeleteI suppose you know that Australia is very little known in the world, the same happens with Argentina. This is why I am interested in reading your posts. I have been a teacher and despite this little is known about distant Australia. I do know that back in the 70s many Argentines emigrated there. Being at the same latitude, the climate is very similar.
ReplyDeleteAustralia makes me curious, maybe one day I'll be there.
Greetings Margaret
Wasn't aware that many people had emigrated to Australia in the 70's.
DeleteSimply beautiful. Thank you. Water makes SUCH a difference doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteWater is soothing they say, just something about it that most of us enjoy.
DeleteAl haber trabajado ahí, te debes de conocer el camino, casi de memoria.
ReplyDeleteMe gusta las fotografías y especialmente la que inicia este buen reportaje.
Besos
Yes I do know the area at Deloraine well. Delivered many a baby in the hospital :)
DeleteWhat a nice spot, with the river appearing quite narrow in one of the photos.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasant walk along the river with the trees for company Andrew.
DeleteWe are still in lockdown here. It's been eight months that we have not been able to leave our neighbourhood. Just the simple things like walking in a park, visiting the beach or taking a boat road seem like dreams right now.
ReplyDeleteOh my that's a long time for lockdown. Things to dream about for sure, thing we all took for granted back in the day...hopefully some normality for you soon :) take care xx
DeleteDeloraine is a very beautiful town!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is Angie

Thank you.
DeleteA woman we met and had dinner with in Tasmania is leaving to move to NSW to be nearer to her children and grandchildren, but she is sad to be leaving the state. With good reason, I say!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, probably she will miss Tasmania so many seem to but understand her wanting to be near family...there are so many people coming to live in Tasmania too..
DeleteAfter going through lockdown, we miss open space like this. Beautiful lake scenery with lots of green.
ReplyDeleteOh I can imagine everyone on lockdown would miss the wide open spaces even if it's just a small park..
DeleteOh so prettty
ReplyDeleteLovely there Jo-Anne..
DeleteIt would be great fun to sit in a chair being put under the tree and have a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, many people do just that in warmer weather..
DeleteI love the Orb, they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey are nice and plenty of them in that particular area all painted different colours.
DeleteIt looks a very pleasant small community with its meandering river, park, and lots of trees.
ReplyDeleteThere is a 'craft' fair there every year in November which is amazing.
DeleteGrazie infinite per queste splendide fotografie.
ReplyDeleteE' un posto meraviglioso che evoca pace.
Thanks Stefania.
DeleteBeautiful photos, thanks for sharing. It looks like the right place to live: scenic, relaxing, quiet, clean and in the middle of the green country,
ReplyDeleteIt is nice and a bit cooler there because it's more inland and beneath some mountains.
DeleteHi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be a beautiful and peaceful city.
The photos are amazing, I especially liked the first one.
All the best
Thanks Maria - lovely country town.

ReplyDeleteHope your friends are liking it.
DeleteThe outlook in Deloraine not only looks green but comforting for nature. It looks peaceful.
ReplyDeleteIt appears to be a peaceful place..
DeleteI have no doubt that I could live there quite happily.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you could David, central to many things.
DeleteNice pictures Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThat bridge is very special.
Greetings, Marco
Thanks Marco. It's a footbridge giving a good view of the river..
