Jersey 084 Cobar area

Well photographed. Love the light and colours here.
HFF and have a very good weekend, Graham.

Thanks Roger.

impressive this red earth!

wish you a nice Friday and weekend!

Thanks Annemarie. There are many thousands of square kilometres of red soil. It becomes first very slippery when it rains and as it dries out it becomes extremely sticky.

An interesting historical image and notes, Graham. HFF and have a good weekend.

Thanks George.

Interesting find Graham. HFF and best wishes for the weekend.

Thanks David. There was some of this in use round NSW when I was a trainee tech and first out of my time. I was in a group which tested cables and lines between exchanges and sometimes had to setup extra circuitry to get the lengths of underground cable to work at the distance the simple system above didn't have a problem with.

HFF, Graham and a good weekend!

Thanks Stephan.

A rough red landscape well captured with interesting notes Graham
HFF and a good weekend.

Thanks Roger.

Interesting remains of old telephone line, close to the fence! Belated HFF, Graham!

Thanks Dimas. These phone lines often followed fence lines.

We don't always realize how much our lives are easier nowadays...
Belated HFF and enjoy the weekend

Thanks Xata. With the system in the photo one sometimes hd to share part of the line with other phone numbers so there was some listening-in happening. What is in this photo is very early in telecoms. About a Km from here to the right of the photo is a 75m high tower which carried the now abandoned microwave radio link system along 1300Km of natural gas pipeline. I was in the area to finalise the then state of the art mobile phone base station which uses the tower for its antenna. The gas pipeline now communicates by satellite instead of ground based comms.

Couldn’t get much more Aussie than this, Graham. Fabulous!

Thanks Diana, so true. Look at the photos adjacent to this one to see more of the region.

Wonderful
