I think he was fairly cautious, with his eyes fixed on the road ahead the whole time. Apart from the near spill above he did really well. I can't believe you like that photo best - because I was very fond of it too. Yes it does conjure up lots of possibilities doesn't it. I really enjoyed the old bakery though. It was still pretty much intact. I loved it. I loved it all. <br /><br />Hurray. I nailed an image that you decided to overlook. You are teaching me lots Nikka and you don't even realise it.<br /><br />Hello Diane. Glad you are enjoying our trip. Gee, "eerie" is an excellent word. Yes, spot on. Considering the harshness of the Australian outback, yes you are right - amazing any of it is still standing.<br />I looked up a fairly basic world map of Australia and found 'Marree' as the closest major town near the Farina Ruins. We visit Marree in my next post. The community there now is miniscule compared to the community that existed 100 years ago. I guess I am trying to say there are no 'major' communities anywhere out here. I don't think many people today want to live that isolated and do it that tough unlike our pioneers.Through My Kitchen Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300798774076098054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196832473535198635.post-47111879521418895582009-07-21T16:54:34.771+10:002009-07-21T16:54:34.771+10:00Hello,
Really enjoyed the photos and stories. The...Hello,<br />Really enjoyed the photos and stories. The landscape has an erie magic of it's own. It's amazing how the buildings of the ghost town are intact. I would of though that mother nature and time would be obliged to obliterate any sign of human existence.<br /><br /> I would like to locate (on a map) the area where you were travelling. For reference points, what were some of the larger communites that you travelled through? <br /><br />DianeAthenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455300732663476627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196832473535198635.post-44861714878976208222009-07-21T10:56:06.491+10:002009-07-21T10:56:06.491+10:00Haha, well Riss likes 12th st aswell,

I can't imagine it'd have looked too different from "Thirteenth St". <br /><br />I am once again, eager for part three.<br />:)Larisshttp://www.sunshine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196832473535198635.post-59504033435811340762009-07-20T19:01:31.057+10:002009-07-20T19:01:31.057+10:00Again the photos are stunning.
