7.





Which way did we go do you think remember we came from Trangie and did not go back the same way we came

I like these .. we have a Collie over here in WA .. so was a bit shocked when saw the population was 39 lol cos I was sure there were more ppl living there not that I've been.

All 39 town folk would gather at the pub .. I would assume.

I like any image of the outback areas...good stuff. One question? Collie, is that where the dog comes from?

"the Outback House" must be the ladies too many tree's for there for it to be the blokes

[twistednoodle]

Really like the little cottage, would be nice in b&w I think.

thanks guys your a funny lot I am not sure if that is where the dog comes from but must admit was expecting to see a statue or something to do with a collie. The pub was closed like most small towns as the publican has a farm or other type of job so most likely only open late arvo for a bit I guess but nice town must go back for photos one day oh by the way I would be by myself next time as getting the driver to stop is not as easy as it may seem I guess but its red dirt country around a lot of these place's just love the wide open space's and have been having a blast here until real life starts again I guess the outback outhouse must be for the ladies I guess seems only fair as man can go just about any place they want ha ha Oh and TN I did it in B&W but could not decide what one I liked better so here it is basic B&W as time is limited a lot of miles out this way to drive each day and see something new not as many photos though silly driver hehe

It's definitely not named after the dog which is from the UK but 2 seconds on Wkipedia gives this.

"The name, Collie, could have derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "water"."

interesting thanks Kiwi for the information
