Finley is highway town, the main inland highway linking the southern state of Victoria to the northern state of Queensland through New South Wales. Normally at this time of year there is a mass exodus from Vic to QLD of "grey nomads" in their caravans heading to a warmer climate for winter. With the Queensland border closed, they are all having to stay home. Just mainly trucks on the road now and local traffic.

No I don't think it is the same tree because it would be right on the corner of the intersection if it was. There are more trees down that road off to the right though - beautiful Jacarandas that have been there for a long time.CountryMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761724941259576940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237865919006017597.post-87117552525338015022020-05-19T09:29:28.967+10:002020-05-19T09:29:28.967+10:00I like photos like thisI like photos like thisJo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237865919006017597.post-73168265130316774642020-05-19T04:13:45.612+10:002020-05-19T04:13:45.612+10:00The things change, the more they stay the same.The things change, the more they stay the same.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237865919006017597.post-6406382378357847282020-05-19T01:10:50.727+10:002020-05-19T01:10:50.727+10:00Surprisingly little change.
