Corrugated Iron and Eurelia Railway Station

May 31, 2013 Red Nomad OZ Australiana, Eurelia, South Australia

Last Updated on May 6, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ My liking for neatness, order and logic most likely explains my affinity for corrugated iron. Although the unkind might attribute it to control freak tendencies! Whatever it is, corrugated iron’s neat rows and precise undulations, and patterns of light and shade hold an artistic appeal. This appeal actually increases as[…]

Ride the Arkaroola Ridgetop Tour!

Last Updated on May 6, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ ‘Now we’ll see some REAL scenery!’ Doug announced, herding us away from the spectacular outlook from Coulthard’s Lookout towards our convoy of two vehicles. The Arkaroola Ridgetop tour was well underway. But I was sceptical. The ragged mountain ranges (yes, I’m channelling Aussie poet Dorothea Mackellar*) glistened and glowed in a[…]

The Blowering Dam Dunny – Scenic Loo #35

Last Updated on May 6, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ Blowering Dam The chances of the overly excitable, imaginative and paranoid of finding their Blowering Dam Wall public amenities experience a little stressful are better than average. Answering nature’s call in this relief station’s picturesque setting in the heavily wooded Tumut River Valley is a positive pleasure. But its placement[…]

Last Updated on May 6, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ A Taste of the Paranormal Magnetic Hill South Australia promised to be a little bit weird. Up to now, my discovery of the Daleks of Khancoban in a remote Snowy Mountains hideaway had been the pinnacle of my paranormal participation in the world of real-life Australian sci-fi. Now, the sign[…]

RED Alert #9: RED turns to BLUE in Geneva!

May 10, 2013 Red Nomad OZ Interview, Red Alert

Last Updated on November 8, 2014 by Red Nomad OZ I first ‘met’ my RED Alert guest KATH through her blog Gone Chocco, now sadly inactive BUT required and compelling reading for anyone with more than a passing interest in the wonderful world of chocolate. Of course this led me to her non-food-related blog, Blurb from the Burbs, which with a enviably[…]

While the special deal isn’t available now, the real cost is still a small price to pay for a chance to[…]
