SkyWatch - Another Wirrealpa Sunset


Before we left Wirrealpa Station to go to Arkaroola, the evening
sky put on another splendid show for us.


They day had been hot with the sun really biting. 


Hard to imagine that a mere 700km south, it was already so cold 
that we had our electric blankets in use.


Somehow in the dry inland, sunrises and sunsets are so much
more spectacular than at home.


A windmill always helps although we have a few at home too.


Happy skywatching everyone!

OUR WORLD - Perry's Sandhills


Perry's Sandhills, just outside Wentworth, New South Wales,
are like a mini Simpson Desert. They vary from deep red


through shades of gold,


with clumps of vegetation,


to a most appealing Naples Yellow or straw colour and cover
quite a large area. As in most of inland Australia, it is a hot
dry-land climate where harvests are good, if only there is rain
and rain is a very scarce commodity.



Time to post the best of your world on OUR WORLD, so get to it!
