calNgary Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 This is a picture taken 2 mins down the road from me, i think its a great shot (i didnt take it) and i love how i can be in the middle of 'nowhere' or in town within 5 mins depending on which way i turn when exiting my driveway.

bristolman Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Do tell. Dry, barren and often brown. I grew up in an area that for much of the year was brown and dry and it turned me off that sort of countryside forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicF Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Just thought I'd add a couple of pictures of rural Australia of my own. Taken at Flinders Ranges so probably more outback than just rural, but anyway. Not everyone's cup of tea but I loved the sense of space and emptiness.

I got whacked on the electric fence taking a shot of the poppy fields. I should have guessed it was electrified by the trespassers sign. They grow 'em for codeine production apparently.............those that aren't nicked by the locals I guess! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in an area that for much of the year was brown and dry and it turned me off that sort of countryside forever. you always judge all of oz by the little bit you saw. this is the countryside near where i live in nsw. not dry, barren or brown. oz is massive & much more diverse than the uk. you should try to remember that.

They are harvested and used in codeine and morphine. In spite of the electric fences and danger signs, a German backpacker died earlier this year when he managed to get a hold of some of the poppies and brewed tea with them and drank it :frown: Poppy fiields Danger signs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johndoe Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Richmond, Tasmania A historic bridge that one. Been there. Went there to photograph the church and then on to photograph the church at Bothwell. A friend of mine asked me to go to Bothy as her great, great grandfather was married there. He was a penal labourer on the estate there who got deported for knicking a pair of stays off a washing line. He earned his freedom, married a local girl and lived and died there. She was over the moon when I brought her back a pic of the church and some leaflets from inside depicting the history as her gg granddad was mentioned St Luke's Church, Bothwell, Tasmania (HDR) by Kevin Dickinson, on Flickr St Luke's Church, Bothwell, Tasmania (HDR) by Kevin Dickinson, on Flickr And just down the road at Gretna, it looked like the drought was finally breaking!
