Kangaroos crossing

The road into Mitchelton Winery at Mitchellstown, near Nagambie, Victoria.

I liked the lines in this with the sense of kangaroos bounding across them. I just missed a shot of actual kangaroos crossing so the shot I was after was the kangaroos and the sign! Next time!

The road was actually the old Port Phillip Road, from Melbourne to Sydney which, in part, followed the western bank of the Goulburn River. Mitchellstown was, at one stage, the first stop along the road from Melbourne and the first overland mail was carried along this route by coach in 1838. This route was superseded by the Hume Highway (now the Hume Freeway) as the main route north from Melbourne, passing through Seymour and bypassing Mitchellstown.

Behind the 'Watch out for kangaroos' sign are old cork trees, some used for earlier wines from this winery.

Lovely capture

Could be dangerous for an accident.

In the states, we have signs with deer on them but there never seems to be deer at the place of the sign. Everywhere else but not at the sign.

Beautiful shot of all theses lines, interesting narrative too.
