Easy when you had camped nearby.....

Here is a rather interesting looking church we saw a few years ago. Anyone guess where it might be?

I keep thinking Grafton or Maclean area on the Clarence River. Possible Jacaranda tree in background.

Not in the habit of taking photo of places of worship so I am straggling bit.

You are closing in radar, still further north. This is not a place of worship any more, now a wedding chapel.

Hi Gaylehere

I think I know the street scape more then anything, maybe the rose sculpture has been added of late.

I keep looking at the pic and guessing Darling Downs, near coal fields  somewhere Qld.

On running back though my photos I found the shops.

Biggenden Qld, was there in October 2018, no wonder street was fresh in my memory.

Yes Radar, it is Biggenden Qld. We were also there in October 2018 and it was then I took the photo. We were a week too early for their Rose Festival (20th October) but needed to be home by that week end. We stayed in the camp there for an overnighter. So back over to you. Cheers.

 

PS:  We did put our donation for the camp in the box.

Thank you Gaylehere.

This photo of a bridge into a now by passed town. We had a very enjoyable lunch near on our way north. This bridge would give any truck driver the horrors as it was very tight passsing another truck going in the opposite direction.2018 02 02 GN~02.JPG

 Hi Matildatraveller. Your back in the game.

Taree on the mid north coast of NSW.

Ps. I did not know the bridge had a name, all right, not one I could write here.

Where to now.

biggrin biggrin biggrin...Thanks mate, yes crossing that river does get the heart rate up especially when you pass a truck with your your caravan..'Oh what a feeling!'  TOYOTA!!!!    I'll be there next February house sitting, so will get to experience that bridge for another occasion.   

Has anyone seen this unique steel structure in their travels?  As a hint, pay close attention to the land mass in the background......  Gwynnie floating.gif

Hi Bluecat, Not VIC, so not Portsea, but it is a coastal location
