I noticed something when we entered NSW.. or lets say it dawned on me that the states were divided depending upon the landscape, kind of.. WA all bushland and desert, SA all irrigated and farmlands with plains, VIC all up and down with mountains and mounds as well as farmlands and NSW mostly jungle....

Lap : Balranald to Narrandera
Distance: 303km
Time : 3h45m
Fuel : $59
Motel : $150

This was an interesting lap but one phone battery dying on us and the other phone playing anti-focus left us with very few uninteresting pix....

Another turn-off was the road, it was like we were riding a bouncing castle, kind of reminds me the old GT road between Kamra and Attock, if some of you might remember...

Noticed that WA and SA have great clean road, while VIC and NSW gets the substandard vote...

All the way from Ranald upto Narran, all we could see were farms, lots of them for sheeps and cows.... consider all the white dots as sheeps....

I dropped the phone and broke the outer glass, I had to remove the glass but it became difficult for it to focus....

if you look at this picture closely, you'll see a line, this is called central pivot irrigation system, i think.... and can be as wide as 1 km.... probably one of the most efficient systems..

Reached Hay NSW, which is a town in the western Riverina region of south western New South Wales, Australia. It is the administrative centre of Hay Shire local government area and the centre of a prosperous and productive agricultural district on the wide Hay Plains (Wiki)

There is a Shearing Hall of Fame there too..

Shearers enjoy legendary status in Australia, and links to Australia's vibrant and colourful shearing culture are prevalent in our contemporary life. Shear Outback is an innovative and exciting interpretative centre devoted to those colourful characters of the bush.
