Dear Gwalia! I know there are
Towns lovelier than ours,
And fairer hills and loftier far,
And groves more full of flowers

But let me choose and oh! I should
Love all my life and longer
To stroll among our trees and stray
And never, never leave the town.

(Rev'd Eli Jenkins, Under Milk Wood)

Wonderful......and the photo is like the postlude..
Thanks for the poem. This was a thriving gold mining community for about 80 years, then the mine closed,and people just walked away. It is about 800 kilometres from any sizeable town, and just sits, quietly rusting and baking away in the désert.
The solitude is poetic .....and sits well with the Dylan Thomas!

Blimey, Di. Looks like Soweto 20 yrs ago! Love the red earth and the gum trees...WA is an awesome place...reminded me so much of parts of Africa when I was there. I miss it. Great shot.

Hi Phill....the mine closed and the people just walked away...in the 60's...
They had lived in these from the 1880's. it is very remote, in the desert...I try hard to imagine how dreadful it must have been in these houses in summer with temperatures in the 40s.
Yes WA is amazing...so huge...and sparsely populated. I love the red earth too.
Lovely to read your comment!

Daumen hoch !

Indeed...thanks FRank.

Un coin perdu ...pas toujours facile au quotidien !

Oui......loin du monde!

Great shot,bet that old shack could tell some interesting tales!
