Journey to the Centre of NSW

with Sharon Archer

Wide open spaces!

I thought I'd take you on a pictorial tour of our trip to see friends in Outback NSW.  They run the Four Corners Farmstay and have this seriously cool logo:  

Have pillow, ready for sleepover!

It had been raining and I had a lovely time taking pictures of reflections in puddles...

While I was playing around the puddles, I found this really clear kangaroo paw print - interesting dimples in the heel...

Actually, I just noticed this weird visual effect - if I put the picture the other way around the heel looks like an "outdent" rather than an indent!  Does it do the same for you?

I think my photographic fascinations can be summed up as reflections, sunsets and "up close and personal"!  Here are a few small things that couldn't/didn't run away!

Lace of spider silk & water droplets

We tripped out to find the geographical centre of NSW.

Yep, we found it & have the picture to prove it!

All too soon, it was time to head home again... this is our lunch spot on the trip back...

A quiet spot for lunch

Our socks didn't dry in time to pack so I hung them in the back of the car!

Laundry to go!

Stopped over night at the Lake Cargelligo Caravan Park and went for an evening walk to the lake.  

yep, more reflections!

Spotted these galahs having a drink...

Sunrise on the lake the next morning was pretty spectacular...

And the galahs looked so gorgeous with the early morning light on their rose-pink breasts...

We're back home now!  It's lovely to go away, but always wonderful to get back home... even if it is cold and wet here at the moment! 

Thanks for taking this little tour with me!  When I first travelled through the outback, many years ago now, I found the flatness and the hugeness of it daunting but now I really love it!  So do you like wide open spaces or do you prefer the cosiness of rolling hills?
