First day of spring, well, according to the calendar anyway. The willows are greening up, and it won't be long before the rest of them are green again too.

First day of winter, in Australia that is, back on 1 June 2021. Taken from a coach, not long after sunrise. It was still quite foggy, not long after sunrise

Autumn is well and truly upon us, here on the Tablelands. Getting cooler every day, too. #autumn #fall #park #hometown #nsw #northerntablelands
Another look at the St John's Anglican Church in the town of Uralla between Armidale and Tamworth #uralla #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
The Armidale station master residence was also built around the same time #armidale #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
Armidale Station was opened in 1883 when the Main North line was extended from Uralla before continuing on to Glen Innes the following year #armidale #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram

Overgrown tracks on the heritage listed Ben Lomond Station - the station was built in 1884 but the line closed 101 years later #benlomond #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
The side of St Patricks Catholic Church in the tiny village of Ben Lomond dates to 1928 #benlomond #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
Can only guess that this house in Ben Lomond was once the local inn - because the short street is on was called Inn St #benlomond #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
The ornate Ben Lomond Memorial Hall is small like the village and was built in 1919 - extending the existing School of Arts #benlomond #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
Plenty of security on the historic Tingha Post Office - which looks like it might have seen better days #tingha #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
Once a tin rich town with a large Chinese and Indigenous community, Tingha is home to the historic Royal Hotel #tingha #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram

The red roof and weatherboard St Andrew's Anglican Church is much older, having been opened in 1888 #tingha #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
St Francis Catholic Church in Tingha, with that dominating brick cross, dates to 1952 #tingha #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
While the Tingha Town Hall says 1911 on the building, Iβm reliably told it actually celebrated its centenary in 2014 - it too has a Chinese feel to its design #tingha #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
South of Inverell is the small village of Tingha - where you wouldnβt expect to find a Chinese named building Wing Hing Long & Co - but the town has a long history of Chinese settlement #tingha #northerntablelands #nsw #bentsabout #latergram
