Near Wyangala Dam a place called Reid's Flat. Biggest town near by is Cowra but it is a hours drive from us. It is a 3 and half hours drive for us from home but with all the travelling we do seems like 2 hours. We use it for 4 x 4 driving, bikes, quads, camp fires, relaxing, shooting and of course photos for me. I have planted numerous natives over the years to attract birds so I have a lot of native flower shots. Check out some of my old post relating to the farm for more shots with a view.

Near Lightning Ridge the Pub in the Scrub and Sheepyard Flat and well know places to go for a drink out in the middle of no where. The prices are high but the food is good with local home made pies and hardy meals. The wether gauge in the pictures below is a bit of Australian humour. There is a rock hanging and the sign above explains the weather conditions, being the rock is wet - rain, the rock is swaying - windy etc. The old trucks and wrecked cars are a regular sight and make great photos. The large head structure is above the pub sign and made from anything scrap. Hope you enjoy a bit of bush Australiana.

Thankyou, I do try with my shots and do them from all in the camera. I don't edit much apart from a crop or sharpen, very occasionally. I only have Picasa to work with when I want to do something.

Nicely done. I posted a similar image, but no where near as good, a few months back.

So true. In our travels and quite close to Lightning Ridge there is a Pub in the middle of the bush called "Club in the Scrub" it is very unique to the surrounding areas and very well known to the locals and travellers.

Have you every been there. It is like a world of its own with the landscape looking like another planet, being so barren and all the earth moving going on. We have been there twice.

Here in lightning Ridge opals are mined in this very isolated part of Australia. Materials are costly to bring/transport and buy so they scavenge and re-use anything they can to build somewhere to live. It is famous for their recycled bottle/can houses, mine tours, art galleries and shanty dwellings. Here are some of the more unusual places we found made from whatever they could find. Mounds of soil are found everywhere here where mining has been done. Scrubby plants and Cactus are the only things that grow out here in the mining areas.

Belted Kingfishers are fast flying shy birds that are hard to capture a picture but I find it quite easy in the kayak. I guess I just blend in with the surroundings.
