Wow yes Collerenebri is definitely getting out to the sticks- heading out towards the back o' Bourke...lol...
And near Lightening Ridge. My old Science Teacher from Bega High used to own a lease there and gave my brother lots of opal shards which he used when making his clocks out of tree burls.
To be honest, I haven't ever been there- I've been up and down a 100 times but on the eastern side of the great divide... that coastline is sensational... And now you're in the states eh.?
Yes. Colly is very close (in outback terms) to Lightning Ridge. It’s the closest place with a supermarket open on a Sunday and a fun funky place.
I live in Tel Aviv, Israel these days.
As far from Colly as you can imagine, in every way.
OH WOW- from one extreme to another!
How exciting and adventurous!
I must hear more about your adventures one day!
Funnily enough, Collarenebri is how I got into cryptocurrency.
I have solar electricity farms out there and when the solar feed in tariff got reduced massively I was looking for other things to do with the electricity and started investigating Bitcoin mining.
I started mining ETH at home in Israel to try out the concept.
ETH GPU mining proved to be not set and forget at all and thus not suitable for a remote location like Colly but I continued to be involved in many ways from that unusual crypto beginning.
