Here are some more photos of Autumn Trees in Tenterfield, a small country town in northern NSW. It sits in a valley amid the Great Dividing Range. It's main industries are beef and wool. It is famous for being the town where Sir Henry Parkes delivered his Federation Speech in 1889. The speech ignited the debate that ultimately led to Federation on 1 January 1901. (When Australia became a country in its own right and no longer a colony of Britain.)
Tenterfield is also famous for being the birthplace of entertainer, Peter Allen. He lived with his grandfather, who was the "Tenterfield Saddler" in his song.
This is the second park that we visited to see the trees. As you can see it was a beautiful day and above average temperature. 25°C/77°F
There were some girls taking photos too.
They didn't mind ud taking photos of them playing in the leaves
I just loved the colours.
Many of the streets in Tenterfield look like this. We never see this in Brisbane.
I like the old country houses hiding behind the beautiful trees.
Hello Diane, the fall leaves and color are beautiful. Gorgeous trees. The girls looks happy to be there. The houses are cute! Wonderful collection of photos. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day and weekend ahead!
ReplyDeleteYou took marvelous photos of the changing colors, so vibrant and a lovely warm day to enjoy it. I like the country houses too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a place I'd love to be!
ReplyDeleteGreat autumn like in europe
ReplyDeleteI think I have to stay away from your posts with autumn pictures, lol ! I am getting depressed ! I am so happy that we have spring now !
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favorite season as I love when the trees turn these beautiful colors, Diane. I saw this often in NY, and here in Colorado we see beautiful golden and orange aspen trees in the fall.
ReplyDeleteAmazing colours they are beautiful. Also love that old home. Have a good day t'other Diane
ReplyDeletei could be very happy on that porch and in that house in the last photo. those trees are fantastic.. a tunnel of colors.. Bob said if we traveled the only other country he would want to see is Australia..
ReplyDeleteLove your photos. The trees have such great coloring.
ReplyDeleteGood memories for me of VERY old times in that area.
ReplyDeleteThe Tenterfield "winds" of winter I sure remember, but it is
such a fine pastoral area - excellent Hereford, Angus and now Wagyu
cattle for beef.
The sheep - the food breeds - are prominent there and the table lamb is one of the best in Australia.
I suspect the 4 young Asian ladies may be students from the Uni of New
England, Armidale - which does specialise in various agriculture
subjects.
Great report and photos,Diane.
Colin
so beautiful and as you say the colours are amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeing in a valley where the cold air sits at times must help the trees colour, although it is supposed to be more about light than temperature. Very nice photos of an iconic town.
ReplyDeleteThe trees (and leaves) are absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe liquid ambers always give a great show of colour if cold enough in the autumn.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Diane! I love the autumn colours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very happy series of images Diane, j'adore!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very happy series of images Diane, j'adore!
ReplyDeleteI always like the coloured trees. You can hardly imagine they are te same trees as before.
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! I like knowing it is autumn somewhere in the world; my favorite season . . .
ReplyDeleteWhile these scenes made me long for autumn, I am in no hurry for its arrival, Diane. These colors are beautiful and what lovely weather you enjoyed too.
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely!! I do miss seeing all the fall colors since we don't have that many deciduous trees.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and happy post to which to start my day. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous fall colors. Nothing better than fall trees, and interesting to see as we are having our spring! hOpe your travels are going well!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying your beautiful fall colors, even though I'm glad it is spring in my 'neck of the woods'!!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful and vivid colours!
ReplyDeleteOh those trees are so pretty
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Fall Color! For those of us not lucky enough to have visited your country, this really brings home that you are like us in the US -- a huge country with many different climates ..... (One of the things I know from books, but seeing your pictures and thinking of you traveling from sub-tropical Brisbane to this lovely area and thinking about how we would do that in the Fall from here in Florida to (maybe) Vermont -- it brings the understanding to life!).
ReplyDeleteFun to see the fall colors in your part of the world. Your photos captured the colors well.
