In the forest

Creek and forest in what is now the Monga National Park. Back to my bushranger story about the Clarke brothers gang, as this was in the area they travelled. After the Nerrigundah shooting, Tom Clarke and his uncle Pat Connell were declared outlaws. Not long after the gang made a second raid on Mudmelong, a police party found the bushrangers' camp in the bush. While several escaped, Connell was shot when he attempted to ride away. A few months later, his brother Tom Connell was captured.

Explored.

Such a lovely image, George. I was very interested in the history of the area as well...your descriptions remind me of the wild west! :) (I'll peek at your album, I must know more!! :D)

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments on my pictures, and about my fox-droppings tale...wow...Wombats have cubical droppings...lol...that's different! :D I looked for pictures, and yep, you're right...that's just nuts! :D *shakes head in amazement* Don't you just love the internet? I was able to identify the droppings on our driveway just by looking it up on the 'net. I love that. LOL we're pals in poo! :D *laughs out loud*

Excellent capture George, like the dappled sunlight and the feel of movement in the water.
