Windmills are a common sight on properties all over Australia, pumping water to fill troughs and dams. In some areas they have become less important due to other available technologies; electric and petrol pumps and now solar powered pumps.
This is a windmill near Rawnsley Park in the Finders Ranges in northern South Australia.
Some people collect cars, some people collect stamps ..... but on our recent return journey from Canberra I spotted this yard - a windmill collection!

I love the second picture.
That was a new one - a collection of windmills!! There can't be much wind for each of them when they are placed like that.
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you and your dears ones!
Excellent post! Merry Christmas.

I WONDER what the spouse thinks about it?
Seasons greetings from my blog to your blog.

Love the windmills! Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas "down under"! We are in the throws of ANOTHER snow storm. No need to "Dream of a White Christmas"....we are LIVING that dream!!!
Incredible pictures, longtime faithful reader in the mood to post some happiness around this time of the year. Merry Christmas!
Hi, I've seen your pictures on your blog and it's nice to see. I love it!
~Friend:.
Wonderful pictures of Australia. We don't get enough information about other countries here in America. It is refreshing to follow your blog, to read about the places and to share our communities with others. Thank you.
And Merry Christmas to you.
We saw a lot of windmills crossing the U.S. prairie--Kansas, Nebraska. Now there are "windmill farms" with HUGE windmills in very windy places near here and in Wyoming. Still those old rustic ones are the most picturesque. Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
I love Australia. Your country is where my childhood friend whom I got a huge crush on is based now. :)
Happy Holidays!!
Windmills are so Majestic
Merry Christmas
