The Long and Winding Road

The Long and Winding Road

Taken just beyond the Mundi Mundi lookout 6 kilometres outside of Silverton, near Broken Hill, NSW. Further on is the Umberumberka Reservior. The views are vast across the Mundi Mundi plains, the road seemingly never ends as it wends it’s way through the outback.

Thank you for looking.

  • Tainia Finlay replied

    After Silverton there wasn’t a building in sight Ginny! It’s amazing to find totally uninhabited wild open spaces isn’t it! Thanks for your comments :D

    Fabulous shot , I often wonder when I see these roads how long it took to build them ?

  • Tainia Finlay replied

    I wonder why they didn’t build them straight Irene when there is nothing in the way LOL

    Thanks for your appreciated comments

    It seems like a long road to nowhere…..devoid of life…but I am sure it has its own magic, and its own ecosytems…... just a shame it’s too hot to get out there and explore! This image really captures the vastness of the australian outback!

  • Tainia Finlay replied

    Thanks inAWE, it does look devoid of life! The colours were amazing and i imagine there were lots of lizards & snakes lurking too :D

    WOW Peaceful warrior, thank you so much for your input & comments. They are very much appreciated. I understand having been there what a gruelling task it must have been for your brother! It is a remarkable place indeed :D
