I love that it says Tullah has a population of approximately 202. The second 2 seems superfluous. It is on the edge of Lake Rosebery, a hydro reservoir, fed by the damned Mackintosh and Murchison rivers. Perhaps the latter is named after the Scottish geologist Roderick Murchison?
The landscape was very Scottish in looks for much of today. Craggy mountains dotted with scrub; changing rock seams; glacial erratics. Cold, green. Rivulets and creeks abound.
The harder industrial past is evident around Zeehan, with the scorched and rusty ruins of zinc smelters. Zeehan’s population peaked at 10000 in the early 1900s, 10x what it is today.
A lovely day!
