Taken on my morning walk with the dog. Yes, the fence is low. :-)
Happy Fence Friday and have a good weekend, everyone.

More poplars

My trip away to a classic car gathering, held every second Easter, took me through a small country town where i found this further avenue of poplars.

Autumn fences

Poplar trees are not seen in the warmer areas of Australia, but in the cooler southern areas they are fairly common. I saw these on the Southern Tablelands while on my recent travels, as we head into Autumn and at an altitude of about 600 metres. Happy Fence Friday, everyone, and have a great weekend.

Sydney park and wall

Wishing everyone a Happy Wednesday Wall.

An image I omitted to post when I returned from this trip. Taken far in the outback of western Queensland, where the country is (mostly) very flat - and where most of the roads are unsealed.

Back on the road

Another grid

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 02:03:01 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

For those unfamiliar with cattle grids, they consist of a concrete boxed trench across the road, typically about 1 metre wide. Parallel steel bars about 100mm apart are across the trench. The structure works as a gate for livestock while allowing wheeled vehicles to cross. The concrete sometimes has a sharp lip which could damage tyes if not approached carefully (as here in the centre). Maybe view large to see detail.

Happy Fence Friday, everyone, and have a great weekend.

Unwanted fence

tiabunna has posted:

Having flown over Lake Machattie and seeing it in flood, it was no great surprise to see that the road north from Birdsville to Bedourie had been closed (see PiP 1). Along the way on the detour we could see sunshine reflecting from the lake. (PiP 2).

Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a great weekend to follow.

Grid coming

Not many fence photos from my outback trip - lots of country between fences! This was taken on the approach to a fence with a cattle grid, which needs just a little care when driving.

Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a pleasant weekend to follow.

Watching

These young cattle came rushing up to watch what the strange person was doing with a camera. It's all beef cattle country in outback Queensland.

Outback fence

tiabunna has posted:

It looks to have been a good season here, but the fence gets lost in the landscape. The fence is probably not visible without viewing large, I've marked part of it with a note.
* VERY LATE UPDATE* I wasn't entirely happy with the tone of this image, as it was affected by the windscreen glass. See a re-edit in the note at left of the image.

Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a great weekend.

Road Train #1

tiabunna has posted:

When you're in the 'outback' of Australia, you almost certainly will encounter 'Road Trains'. This was one of the first I captured with the camera, I'll have even larger ones later. The important point is that the roads in remote areas are narrow and these have the right of way - they use the whole road and other vehicles must pull off the side as they pass. View large for the best impression.

Along the road

Somewhere on the "Diamantina Developmental Road", as are the PiPs. It becomes a long way between anywhere out that way! This needs a musical link. :-)

Wandering Emu

tiabunna has posted:

Not far from where we saw the feral goats (earlier images) we saw a couple of emus alongside the road. We later saw more, but by the time the vehicle stops they tend to have wandered away. In the (rather blurry) PiP is one heading away from the vehicle.

Autumn is coming

The row of poplars alongside the coast road near Braidwood, with autumn commencing a few days later at the start of April. They will be at their best late in April.

Down the range

Taken on the main road from Canberra back to the coast. This area was less impacted by the fires of 2019-2020 than most other areas nearby.

I'd like to wish everyone a very Happy Fence Friday, followed by a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Burnt forest

tiabunna has posted:

Back again after a "post Covid lockdown" trip to visit friends and family (restrictions just lifted). I must admit that photography was far from the main priority, so fairly few photos - and then I inadvertently lost some shots when I returned home today.

It was very sobering though, that so many hundreds of kilometres of the trip were through burnt forest such as you see here, from the late 2019/early 2020 fires. At least this area is regrowing (if very slowly), so I feel comfortable in posting it for the Happy Fence Friday.

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend and a HFF everyone.

Nearly done

Until now, only two traffic lanes have been open on the new bridge, the other two lanes were delayed by the need for changes to local roads. Now it seems the final stage of roadworks is nearly done, which will complete the bridge.

Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable weekend, following a Happy Fence Friday.

Lao tourist "bus"

nobody@ipernity.com (tiabunna) — Wed, 28 Oct 2020 02:54:42 +0000

tiabunna has posted:

While heading south from Pakse, we found ourselves behind this wagon, apparently carrying local tourists to Wat Phu, which also was our destination. I guess maybe I've taken road safety too seriously for too long, but what struck me was the way the passengers travelled, including free standing on the rear of the wagon or tucked into brackets on the rear sides. The PiP shows us all arriving at Wat Phu. I think the passenger in the skirt had moved inside by then ...

Pauline is on a new treatment, which allows us more spare time, so for the second time in over twelve months we went for a sightseeing drive. We covered about 250km, almost all burnt, with only small sections near towns and some houses saved from the devastating bushfires of late 2019-early 2020. After more than six months, many areas of forest remain like this. Stitched panorama, view large.
