I can’t leave Nerrigundah alone. On Saturday I parked the car in the village and walked the two kilometres up the hill to the graveyard. Walk with me, as long as you can bear my passion for photographing bark.

Beauty in decay! I am selfishly glad you have a passion for photographing bark Meg! š

It could be a bit of a nuisance, that passion. Once when I was driving back to Broken Hill (a 1300 km drive) I went through the high country and found myself stopping every hundred metres to photograph snow gums. Had to be brutal with myself and keep driving past seductive beauty – Ulysses and the sirens!

Australian trees are so photo worthy, you do them justice.

The row of stones across the river: a dam, an Aboriginal fish trap? Love the old car body, circa 1934.

Most likely to be for a swimming hole for the locals. Thanks for the date – I was wondering.

Isn’t nature wonderful? the bark is stunning but the old tractor is cool too.

Felt as if I was invading privacy by photographing inside someone’s yard, but I did it anyway!

I like the bronzy bark best, Meg, and watery reflections always make me hover. (no, not the hoverfly variety- bad choice of words, but maybe smile worthy) Have a lovely time ladies! š

What’s not to like? Love the old car. And I can understand your fascination with bark. SO many colours, SO many textures…

I always feel a bit apologetic, because once upon a time my children mocked me unmercifully. Some of them have repented! With a bit of luck there’ll be some splendid spotted gum bark on display for you.

I’m packed! What’s the likelihood of showers? Do I need to bring a waterproof jacket with me? I’d rather not unless you think I may need it.

I’d love to say we expect flooding rain – we need it. But don’t bring your jacket. You can blame me if I’m wrong!

These are terrific. I’m fascinated with the chimney like shape in the second one. What is it? The forest ones are beautiful -No.11 is my absolute favourite but they all made me stop and study them.

It’s actually a column monument to a police officer shot by a bushranger in Nerrigundah’s gold rush days. Bad photography! I’m glad my bark obsession gave you pleasure.
