Our World Tuesday

Where family-friendly bloggers share images of their world and tell us a little bit of the story about the place

Wind Farm near Burra, South Australia

 Burra is a tourist town in the mid north of South Australia.  Burra was a copper mining area between 1845 and 1877 and was the largest in Australia.  Burra has many historic buildings and a great self guided tour of the historic sites.

Terowie Railway Station

 There is now a free camping site at the railway station but unfortunately the town is now mostly abandoned with only one or two shops open in the main street.  The quality of water in the town has been a huge problem and is probably one of the reasons that the town is almost a ghost town.  We always stop in Terowie for a look around the abandoned town as there are still a number of lovely old buildings scatttered around.

Terowie Railway Station

 Terowie is another historic town in South Australia  about 200 km north of Adelaide. The railway station was opened in 1880 and its claim to fame was when General Douglas MacArthur in 1942 said "I shall return" while changing trains.  He apparently also said this in various other speeches.
