33 Degrees South: Booborowie, Part 1.

From Lofty: A series of pictures from the hilly district 100 miles north of where I live. Booborowie is the tiny town where we started. The country is gaunt yet beautiful. The rainfall is fickle, early settlers had their hopes dashed every drought but the lucky few families survived and prospered into the 21st century. The wind is a nearly constant feature hence the wind farms but on the day we rode there was little wind so they turned fitfully. Properly speaking the photos should have the title 33 degrees south as we are a fair way from home. The third picture is a zoom shot of the falcon in shot 2. Click for full size!

Heights.

From rq: Last weekend went out for a biking excursion in the local nature reserve, which is basically a giant esker system and some of the highest ground around (tops nearly 200m above sea level! amazing!). There’s also a sightseeing tower, which is quite high, have some views (that next-to-last one is a view towards the hometown, you can sort of see the white church tower that was the most identifiable landmark). Also I’m sad the stairs didn’t come out in the right focus, the geometry was pretty cool. Click for full size!
