Thanks Laurie. All Australian towns are of interest to me. Seeing a name on a map triggers my curiosity, especially small scale maps that show localities. Every one of these has their own history, which I'd be happy reading about. Names such as Moorngag, Upotipotpon and Barjarg come to mind, from my youth. What's the story behind their names? It's like a fractal, the more you look into it, the more there is to see. Thanks again for showing the many places in Australia I'll probably never see for myself. But, now I might read about them. 🇦🇺👍
Here's one for you ... Moorngag www.benalla.vic.gov.au/Your-Council/Our-Region/Townships-Postcodes/Townships/Moorngag Sadly, towns that were once flourishing local centres are now being deserted and are becoming just that, a name on a map. Cheers, Laurie.
I was watching a video of the gypsum train going to Ceduna and Cape Thevenard yesterday. It was good to see more of the area. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Marty. Cheers, Laurie.
