Road Trip Day 2.....

Our journey To Horsham led us through St.Arnaud and Warracknabeal. En route we passed acres and acres of golden canola crop as far as the eye could see! In St.Arnaud, whilst walking along quiet, sleepy streets, I caught sight of prolific beds and nature strips planted with bright arctotis and gazania flowers. These plantings were like carpets of flowers in shades of gold,red,bronze and apricot colours. A central sculpture located at a prominent roundabout in Warracknabeal depicted a flock of sheep being rounded up by a sheep dog. Further in town at another roundabout,a sculpture depicting the same sheep dog but this time,atop bales of wool! These sculptures were adorable and so lifelike. Journey to Horsham involved driving through very flat country with many acres of farmland, mainly canola,wheat and sheep.
We walked along the peaceful and full Wimmera River before dinner and saw many lovely tall gum trees.I came across a huge fallen gum and wanted to stop for a photo. Overlooking parts of this River were many new homes which we admired and wondered how much their owners enjoyed their location.....
