landy on a pole

[eddiec]

Had to share this photo, as it was just too fortuitous!

Was taken on our proud drive back from Adelaide to Melbourne a month or so ago, after picking up Greg, our yellow 96 Defender, which is our first Land Rover purchase - and our first real long drive in a Defender...

So it was just too amazing, just as were getting the hang of it and beginning to enjoy the sounds and smells to see this by the side of the road!



We took it as a sign that we'd made the right decision!

I think this has been mentioned before on this forum, but it is a remarkable sight, and a true tribute!

Thats my favorate town in oz, Kieth.....

I got a few photo's of it last time we were there.

I recon it is the best name for a town but then again, I have a strange sense of humor but I could just imagine how it was named

[eddiec]

Totally agree about the name...

"Where do you live?"
"Keith."

perfect

despite having driven that road a zillion times, we'd never really stopped to look at these places. This time we had the excuse of wanting to take our time, plus we'd just got into geocaching, which forced a stop in Keith (right near that awesome playground), as well as Pink Lake, which is a sight in itself!

Frankly, Keith should have a more Aussie name,

like Keith Keith.

Nice pic!

Ah yes, Keith, my home town.
It is part of the Tatiara Council, originally known as the 90 mile desert. The name came from the home town of the Governor of South Australia, in 1889. That being Keith in the far north east od Scotland.

Other towns/areas include, Bordertown, Mundulla, Padthaway, Wolseley, Willalooka and Western Flat.

We had a farm in Willalooka. There is a road that branches off Willalooka to Bordertown, called McGrice Road. It was named after my Father who spent 20-25 years on the council, many as the council chairman.

And I thought it was 2 blokes on horses riding along, 1 says "I think we should name the place after the local aboriginals and the other says what Keith?"

But like I said I have a strange sense of humor but it was the first thing that came to mind when we stopped at Keith and I was the same, Ive been through it on a number of occasions but only noticed it the last time we went to Adelaide, maybe because it was the first time Ive done the trip in the day time...

Edit, There should be a few photo's in my members gallary as well...

It's a real pitty that the original pic is missing. Unless you know what it is the thread makes no sense.

Ho Hum - threads like time pass on!
