Tues 18 June to Wed 19 June – travelling South

We’re still a long way North, so Tues/Wed we did a lot of driving.  Saw some interesting sights along the way.
Sandstone terraces and cave, near Leonora

London Bridge, near Sandstone

Niagara Dam, near Menzies.  Built in 1897 to provide water to allow expansion of the steam train during the goldrush era.  The cement was brought in by camel from Coolgardie.  It was never put to use.  Just after it was finished, underground water was discovered at nearby Kooknie, and there was an ongoing lack of rainfall.

Kookynie Hotel.  It was closed.

Lake Ballard. There are 51 steel sculptures scattered over the 10 sq km salt lake.  The 'Inside Australia' exhibition was created in 2003 by sculptor Antony Gormley.

Obviously female

We walked around about 9 or 10 of them.  All different.

This one's a boy I think!
