On the way to Tenterfield, NSW

Some of the towns names the ancestor brought out and named small settlements back in the day and a couple we drove through.  They are Boliva, Bonny Doon, Dundee, Stonehenge, Ben Lomond all within the Tenterfield area.

For those that remember the singer Peter Allen born 1944, died 1992 was born in Tenterfield and wrote the song Tenterfield Traveller as a tribute to his grandfather, George Woolnoough, who worked as a saddler in the country town of Tenterfield in New South Wales.  
Peter was married to Liza Manilli in 1967 (Judy Garland's daughter) divorced 1974. Peter never married again.  Gregory Connell and Peter met in 1973 and Gregory died in 1984, Peter never had another partner.



Nice view of the landscape and a typical farm gate below.



This road used to be the highway years ago.  We pulled off the highway and drove up this old road to take a look.  Below a rest area along the way.



The area around Tenterfield, NSW has the red marks around it.

Renmark, SA Sunset.

Renmark sunset in South Australia.  I recently did a post with a sunset in Renmark SA and this is another one totally different.  It never ceases to amaze me how clouds make such a dramatic difference especially in this case.  These set of photos were taken in a different year but all the same evening.

You can refresh your memory what the sunset looked like [ here ] in the other post.
