Warialda to Texas

We continued onto  Warialda where we have stayed before, photos of the town are here.
On this post we have the 'oval' with lights on as the sunset.  In the morning time I took a photo across the road of that 'green' house.  Yes, I don't like houses painted that colour.
Then up the road on our way out a house with so many ornaments it's hard to see them all, but that is ok because the people that live there love them.
Then more photos as we travelled towards Texas and a sign not that far from Texas which is near enough on the border of New South Wales and Queensland, yet the weather was still not warm as we approached north in winter where it usually is warmer.

A good time was had at Warialda as we ventured with another couple staying at the caravan park to the golf club for dinner, a tasty Chinese meal where tablecloths were checked - wow, it's been sometime since I've sat at a dinning table with that type of cloth.

Mural at Barraba, NSW

The Mural below at Barraba NSW was done by Fintan Magee who's art is to admired. There is also another link to Fintan's work here. 
Andrew often does a Mural Monday, here.

Finan says, "Mural depicts a local water diviner searching for ground water, using a y-shaped twig or rod or two L-shaped ones.  Diviners study the landscape of a farm and walk over aras where they suspect the water may be located, ground minerals and magnetic forces force the sticks to cross or be pushed downwards when water is located.  Despite many studies claiming the technique is pseudo-science.  Diviners continue to be used throughout Australia as way of finding ground water."

After taking the photo we continued up the road toward Warialda, NSW stopping a few klm from the nights stop to have a walk about as one does get a bit stiff sitting for a fair while.
The photos are taken of the rest stop showing how dry the area is.
Even cacti will survive though sometimes, we did however see many of them dying.
