Gunnedah
Namoi Valley Panorama


**Nice in Original Size**

My home town, Gunnedah, NSW, Australia. A rough panorama made from four frames
of handheld images, taken over 2 or 3 minutes, complete with the same bus three times,
and other boo boos. This is the town where famous Australian Poet Dorothea MacKellar
lived when she penned 'My Country'. Gunnedah claims to be the "Koala Capital of the World".

Excerpt:
"I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of rugged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me!"


*Note* Many, many problems merging these handheld frames,
so you may see the SAME BUS three or four times!
I'm just a country boy. ;-) full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

This is a beautiful panorama... I wouldn't have even noticed the boo boos if you didn't point them out!

That's too cool about Dorothea MacKellar's "My Country"
You're right in bending the rules

A superb panorama of Gunnedah Colin, looking much better than it did 2 years ago
when we came visiting. *Ping* re the poem, but you have the advantage re D's roots!
