It's the "Headless Drover" from the Black Swamp

As we head along the "Long Paddock" there is a series of sculptures and this one is a real hoot. It depicts the headless drover chasing the crew working the long paddock. Complete with pesky dogs causing havoc, cows going in all directions this work is great and in the middle of absolutely nowhere LOL.

Yesterday dawned wet and packing up in the rain is never fun, but like troopers we struggled through it. The rain continued all day and was still going when we hit the sack last night. We arrived at Hay mid afternoon and soon got into the swing of seeing the local attractions. First off it was the Bishop's House made out of corrugated iron and saw dust - great house and very sensible for the area. Next it was off to the afternoon tea house for scones jam and cream followed by the trip to see the local jail and museum.

This morning we woke to a very cold start but clear blue sky. The country is so different from the last time through here. The crops are in and there is mile after mile of green. Where's my red dirt? I guess we will just have to keep looking, I'm sure it's out here just waiting to be rediscovered.

Today also marked our real return to Miss G and travelling. Emus wandering around, hawks and eagles soaring overhead and intensely coloured sky. Gotta love it.
