Ghost Towns of Australia to Visit

Lots of towns that appear to be void of humans the towns are all neat & tidy. Been thru Terowie a few times but always on a motorbike. Because you need to stop every 120-150kms to leg stretch and 240-300kms for fuel, you get to stop at a lot of these places. Tarnagulla in Victoria is another place that there are times when you could shoot a cannon down the street and not hit anything. Yet the pub & general store seem to do a reasonable trade.

The places that I like are the pristine places that make you feel you are in a time warp. Busy and beautiful but with all original architecture or new buildings in the original town style. Strathalbyn in SA and Gulgong in NSW are two that we were amazed at in our travels. There are others, but these 2 stood out. I always expect to see a stage coach come down the main street in West Wyalong. Maybe even the headless horseman when you go thru at 2:00am and it's a tad foggy and no other traffic.

Have a look in your albums on iphone and ipad. There should be a album called recently deleted, all deleted photos stay there for about 30 days before being fully deleted.

Hi CCBear,

Thanks for that Info. People that did look inside my iphone. Make me SHIVER (Greeks), Hackers call e'm what you will. Looked inside. These people make me creapy all over with their knowledge. They hire themselves out to Mega Companies to do Stuff.

They found other photo stuff I had deleted towards the end of our trip. before these photo's. They took over my phone and ran the lot up on their screens. It deleted every photo from 23rd July to 29th September. nothing else was erased.

Lambie took some photo's as well and we have shared them onto my iphone and ipad. its still not the same. all those memories and happy moments.

We were told to back up everything to icloud from now on. Very Very unhappy about it all. I this, I that, and icloud. And I have the SH.....ts.

Yep , i everything , I have a iPhone and a iPad , my phone keeps telling me my iCloud is full and nothing has been backed for , I dunno how long , I have no idea what's in the bloody iCloud or how it got there .

iCloud can be accessed at iCloud.com just use your Apple ID and username, it can be used to track your iPhone or iPad if stolen if you have find my iPhone enabled on the iPhone. You can setup an iCloud email address and check your storage online for your backups.

Just went to Arltunga in the NT, have been to Hammond in SA, not too far from Terowie. Beltana is another. We were also recently in Andamooka, which like Terowie seems a bit like a ghost town. Peake & Dalhousie are ruins, but deserted all the same.

I've planned a trip in through Johnburg, but have only ever made it from Hawker to Holowilena & back out through Craddock. I'll get there one day!

I like the deserted places :)

Of course also remember icloud gives you 5GB pf storage....... that is about 400 to 500 photos.....so if you get to that far you will need to save them somewhere else........ on these trips its not hard to get a heap of photos....... so putting them on a portable storage drive is my recommendation.

i dont know anything about iphones, ipads or any other things with an i in front so dont know if it is possible, for future reference, but when i transfer pics from my camera i always copy and paste then check everything went across before deleting from camera memory card ....i found out the hard way that sometimes things go awry and by moving items from one place to another stuff gets lost.

Funny to think of West Wyalong and a headless horseman, I have been thru there a few times at 2.am on a foggy morning... the roar of the engine, the gritty eyes, tired bones.... and plenty of others doing the same thing, pushing trucks to Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, working for the man or for the love of it???? Lot of Ghost towns in the late 70's except for the truckies.... they were rougher, slower dirtier and noisier back then ( the trucks too) biggrin , so the poor sod driving had to do it all a bit harder.

Nearly enough to make me wish I could have one more trip .... nearly
