and police were prolific as bikers gathered to be heard

Stu was amongst them!!

He headed down yesterday with couple of biker mates

Views over Gunnedah

Spring in Gunnedah is always so pretty.....

There's not much colour at the moment, but we are starting to see some yellow sneak through...

Gunnedah is surrounded by Canola crops in September/October

they are all the yellow

and it looks superb!!!

These photos are taken from our lookout "Porky"

I love how it looks out over the mountains...

And then on the other side

looking out over the plains....

You can see where all the water was sitting a couple of weeks ago with the flooding..

Its all dead and brown

But its such a pretty little town at the moment..

Lovely and green

Then as the start was dropping i caught this silhouette shot

And in the photo below,

the street we can see is the one that leads to our place...

I love Gunnedah, there is no better place to live!
