These are from a town around 150km North of Adelaide called Condowie. We were just passing bye driving to another town when we decided to turn onto the dirt road and see if there was anything worth shooting. Besides growing wheat, not a whole lot happens in Condowie 62 people live there apparently ... probably all of them on a few properties.
Might go back to this spot and shoot the 3rd shot again sometime with a longer lens just before harvest time late afternoon. Wheat looks pretty nice at that time of year when the sun's going down. A nice golden colour.
Wonder how long it takes for them to get the nearest large city?
Hey Leighton. The nearest “large” town would be Snowtown which is only 15 mins away with a few hundred people and I’d say most go here for fuel and food etc. After that it would be Burra which is where we were heading to which has a population of around 1,000 and a really nice little town … the gateway to the Flinders Ranges. Many of these towns were once bigger and scattered along railway lines which subsequently closed. Many older towns just don’t exist anymore.
South Australia is a pretty huge state (about twice the size of Texas) but with a population of only 1.7m people and 1.4m of those live in Adelaide the capital.
