I took the opportunity to put the trip to another purpose, taking photos for the latest assignment on the photography course I'm doing. We had to choose a theme: so mine was rural NSW | people, places and things! Here's a selection of my favourites...
When we were in Walgett there was an aboriginal rugby competition on with teams from all over the place. I am pleased to report (as a born and bred Novacastrian) that the Newcastle team won! There were kids galore having a fabulous time...
And on our way back to Canberra we just had to stop in and stay with Julienne...I was allowed to take photos of her stuff...and what a rich source of stuff there was!
Coat stand in the longest hallway in the world! And here's the woman herself giving Richard a tour of the homestead :)
Had the best time, loved experimenting with the camera and even better, got to meet new people as well as see dear friends.
I had been scheduled to go to Shanghai with work but my participation got cancelled at the last minute...so I got to go to Walgett instead...
...the Shanghai of the west!! Oh well, there's always next year.
If you would like to see a few more images head on over to my Flickr account.

Kerry you have taken the most enormous steps in your photography and the canola paddock and water shots are just breathtaking but I have to say I am more amazed at your shot of the hat stand!!!! I had to go and have a close look at it to see the beauty that you brought out so clearly. I also loved meeting Richard and you know I love having you visit. Hugs Julienne xx

DeleteIs it called serendipitous? The fact that you got to travel to the Walgett Shanghai instead of the other Shanghai? I mean look at those photos - no, really LOOK! They are so stunning Kerry, and the enjoyment you are so obviously getting out of taking them is so evident. Thanks for the wee catchup! It's so lovely to see a blog post.

Lovely lovely shots Kerry, especially the first one. What is it about Walgett? I have a feeling someone on an old Aussie tv series came from Walgett. Was it someone from Kingswood Country?
ReplyDeleteJules's home looks stunning!

Oh my giddy aunt, the things you have learned with that course, makes me think I should get off my ... and learn to really use my camera. As the mother of an Aboriginal daughter, I love the shot of the girl. Some of those western nsw towns just need to be seen to be believed! You should be so very very proud of yourself with your recent journeys, in every way!
ReplyDeleteWow, your photos Kerry! Over to your Flickr account for me...

ReplyDeleteKerry your photography has developed so much. Stunning pictures on this post, thank you. I am a big fan of canola, as you well know. I never tire of it's vibrant colour. Deb
ReplyDeleteI have been blog Sites for a while now and today i felt like i should share my story because i was a victim too. I had endometriosis for 18 years and i never thought i would ever get a cure due to the terrible symptoms i had and this made it impossible for me to get pregnant even after 12 years of marriage and it was a serious issue. I got to know about Dr. Itua on Blog Site who treated someone and the person shared a story of how she got a cure and let her contact details, i contacted Dr. Itua and he actually confirmed it and i decided to give a try too and use his herbal medicine that was how my burden ended completely. My son will be 2 this december and i am gratetful to God and thankful to his medicine too.Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,Get Your Ex Back, If you have (A just reach his on (drituaherbalcenter@gmail. com)He can also advise you on how to handle some marital's issues.He's a good man.
