RE: Halfway across Australia: Silo art and galah's

in Worldmappin4 years ago

Hello!

Oh yeah Tumby Bay! I forgot about that one. Didn't know Cowell has them painted now too. Makes me miss the Eyre Peninsula... Been way too long since I've been over that way.

It's definitely an upgrade from plain concrete cylinders and it seems to positively effect the local communities, at least a little bit. And the local economies, even just a little.

And, as for those siloes in my photo...

Well,

I won't give it away!

That'd be no fun

But I can tell you two things:

The town is often mentioned at the end of TV News Weather Reports for being The Coldest Place In South Australia

and

There is a sunken ship in the seas off tropical Queensland named after the town. The wreck is a world-renowned SCUBA Diving spot

If you've travelled around SA a bit, there's a good chance you've been through there. It's roughly in the middle. Of the north. The Mid-North, you might say

A blink and you'll miss it kind of place though 😂

Sort:  

Here's the Cowell silo post I did.

Been there...Blinked, but didn't miss it.

Re: Your town. Starts with a Y.

Ay! Too good! 🤣

Yeah, I'm pretty fond of the place. Others might not see much, but they're just not looking

Nice talking to you. Safe travels!
