The yellow crop is canola, it used to be called rape seed at one time. Don't know why they changed it.
That wild unkempt area you passed through on the Newell Highway would be the Pilliga Scrub. Not the sort of place to have a breakdown at night.

You'll LOVE the Bandiana museum Tony, I really hope Bryce can be with you.

Looking forward to hearing your impressions.

The name change was necessary because of buyer resistance, women wouldn't buy rape oil for cooking.

I agree Keith, the nicest, brightest best vehicle museum that I have ever set foot in (I haven't seen many) I hope in the long run that Puka is sorted in the same style.
