Sweet Driving Bliss

Another day, one last country trip for a while (with work any way)
This time to a place called Yumali. About 140km out of Adelaide towards Melbourne.
The drought has been very bad for the farmers, you can really see the drought in the crops. It's spring and the fields should be green and bursting with life. But they are stragly and week, at best crops.
Ok so the below photo is "faked" as in I placed the skull on the rock. (I've never know a sheep to die quite with that much photo framing in mind) But the skull was only 1/2 a metre away. So the movement was not that bad.
The skull now sits on my desk, pretending to be an engineer who was on hold on the phone to long. It may look green but their is no brightness These crops should be GREEN not green.
And how often do you see this, a lone sheep. I swear there was no other sheep with in 200m on this one. Maybe a black sheep of the heard. (Ho ho ho, I'm so funny)
And this is just a nice photo.
Good to be out of the office for another day.

We did travel to Bordertown as well, and back for the night, so about 600km in the day. Not bad, not bad at all. Had to concentrate hard for the last hour. My brain started to hurt though, could have done with a little nap. But push through the pain. Just make sure to not die.

Dying would be bad.

they do need a bit more water, but the dryness does have its own unique beauty - i like green green fields, but the dry country reminds me of the warmth of summer and then I think dust storms and blobby rain falling on warm dirt – I like that.
