 Good Morning,

Today is Sunday the 6th of December, 2020.

I have to say it has been a very busy Week.

A trip to Sandgate ( Leedham's Lookout ) not named by me by the way, near Newcastle on Wednesday for a day of Photography and fun. It was a fantastic day.




Since Thursday morning I have been fixing up my Photos so i can put them on the internet. Quite a detailed job as I have been shown new ways to edit the Photos I take with my new camera. It takes really big Photos, so they have to be cropped and re-configured. Quite a challenge.

Temple Court Railway Station, Photo sourced from Railpage. Information about the photo has been removed.
An earlier Photo, taken in the 60's I think. Sourced from the Willow tree Facebook Page.

Above is a Photo of our Travelling Rig we used for 4 years and 9 months.

We left Ilfracombe on the 15th of September, and, headed towards Roma, where our next weekly stay was. Before we left Ilfracombe, I was able to get some good photos of the Spirit of the Outback.





We stopped at Blackall for lunch, and, we were able to get some Photos of the Blackall Railway Station, which is now in a Park.

Here's some Photos of the Blackall Railway Station.


The Station is used as a Tourist Information Centre.
We both found it to be very informative, with lots of info available.

Have to finish off this Update.

Today is Tuesday the 15th of December, 2020.

Been very busy again with my Photography.

Continueing on with the trip from Ilfracombe to Roma, we had Lunch at the Blackall Bakery, then continued on to Augthella where we stayed over night. The caravan Park we stayed at was part of the BP Service Station.
We shared the Park with some real Australians,








After our One night stay we traveled on to Roma, where we stayed for a week to have a look around. During that week we attended a Night show at the rig,
Visited the Santos Office.
Visited a Homestead, 12 kms out of the town that was established in 1861.
We also visited the Railway Station.

Here's some of the Photos of the Homestead, it was at the Mount Abundance Station.






Here's some Photos of the Roma Railway Station,





More about our Travels in 2014 in the Next Update.

Some recent Photos taken at Wauchope,

Many thanks to Chris for allowing me to use his Photos.
