Moving (towards the end)

Published on May 31, 2024May 30, 2024 by bushboy22 Comments

It’s the end of a month of squares. We have seen burgeoning, some moving forward, renew and reconstruct.
So it’s time to move forward slowly in a renewed and reconstructed car that is burgeoning with style and class

Thank you Becky for being strong and making everyones month of May fun.

It’s time to go as it’s The End

Heading home (highway & bridges)

CWWC: May 2024

Out of the city

Into the country

Sometimes I am a Highway Chile

From here (it’s all downhill)

CWWC: Which way with the colours of brown or black

This is the Harwood Bridge. A 1.5km long bridge and is 30 metres above
the river to allow for shipping. Looking south at the approach it doesn’t
look very daunting.

Heading north is a bit different especially when the road disappears for a
second or two.
The crops either side of the road is sugar cane one of the biggest
agricultural industries on the lower river. I am trying to remember if the
white part on the right hand side is a passing shower or smoke from a
cane fire

I thought I should show you what The Harwood Bridge looks like from the
Maclean Lookout.

Some may remember looking beneath the Harwood Bridge a while ago.

The road to where

The Ragtag Daily Prompt Tuesday: Lost

Is this the road?
Should we come this way
Let’s stop and see
That sign, over there
But I can’t find that
On the map
Don’t worry
Look at the flowers
Don’t worry
Stupid map
We’ll find it
Perhaps another sign
We’ve stopped
We’ve come this way
Is this the road?

Which Way May 30 – Driving Home

Driving home for Which Way

I was driving home the other day and stopped at road works. I thought I would try and get some of the works in action. From there it has become part of my drive home from town, the last twenty kilometers or so. Sit back and enjoy the drive.

Getting the job done
The water truck which is responsible, and the oncoming traffic, for the state of the windscreen
Looking back
The top of the hill and the straight stretch to the west and home
This part of the highway was reconstructed a few years ago. In the distance is Bakers Hill, a local name. The Baker family owned all the land both sides of the highway early last century. The geographical name is Mt Ramornie. It is not what people from overseas would call a mountain. 190530_blog_challenge_which_way_driving_home6

Heading over the hill into the valley where my place is.

The last creek crossing, not far now.

Onto the gravel road. It’s a bit rough as the road only gets graded and repaired once a year so make sure your dentures don’t fall out, tighten your bra straps and seat belt.
The last bit before turning into my road. It’s a bit narrow so I hope we don’t meet a logging truck, cattle carrier, gravel truck or any other big vehicle. 190530_blog_challenge_which_way_driving_home013
