Sunday Drive

Want to come on a Sunday drive? The weather is a lot cooler now and so going for a drive is much more enjoyable for both passengers and the car!!!! We headed west


Then we turned right and headed north at the map to the gem fields


There were all these cars and we're like what's going on??


It was a market!!


A real fair dinkum outback bush market





And you have to imagine slim dusty singing - they played country music to give it atmosphere!!! It was fun to check things out and I'd definitely go again!!
On the road again and you will notice all photos are taken out the window!!!


Lots of little plots trying to get you to go and fossick for gems


This is the bottle shop- just a shed no ,supermarkets but they have a bottle shop!


Heading north out of the gem fields its all scrubby bush


Then opens up






Then we come into Capella which is the next closest town to emerald


The main Street





There's no mail service in Capella you have to go to the post office and collect your mail


There you go ,you've seen Capella we didn't stop as there's nothing to stop for! Now were heading south back to emerald 52km away



They grow this dry dead looking crop that has a red top and the rest is very dead looking . there was miles of this stuff , I shall try and work out what it is but not being agricultural minded I have no idea!!


We came into emerald from the north which is a nicer entrance than from down south! The brown sign to the right is the welcome sign


Home in emerald


And here's the day trippers!
