Continuing showing pics from Monday's trip out western NSW.

Here is a detail of some weathered low-tech engineering, and
a dry paddock with the homestead is in the distance. There was no stock in this paddock - they'd be too hungry.

Wow Carzee, that last one looks like something out of The Bridge Over the River Kwai! :)

Nice shots - again :D

There's a local metaphor: "dry as dead dingo's donger."

I really like the photos. It's an amazingly interesting country and very picturesque in a dry sort of way. There must be a wet season?

'The Bridge On River Dry' is just east of the Elong City Limits. There was a small bit of green (weeds) at the bottom of the river -see pic- but that was it.

No wets as such. Its always been marginal grazing country, but its now in drought for years. Usual stuff is in the classifieds, eg; "Rain Guage For Sale. Excellent cond. Not used for years.'
