Believe it or not

Some of the towns dotted around this country

tickle my fancy with their names. 

Names that keep rolling off the tongue.

 One of these is

Thargomindah

Thaar-go-min-dah. 

Just love saying it !!

Pretty bush-walk skirting the town

Sir and Rusty taking a stroll

                                                                       Anyways

Thaar-go- min-dah

Has an interesting claim to fame

It had the third powered town in the world

THIRD

IN THE WORLD

I ask you 

if you ever travelled out here in the sticks

there is not much happening
 who could imagine this.

The electricity supplied by a pressurised hot spring from an artesian bore
producing hydro electricity from 1898 to 1951

This tiny tin shed supplied the town homes and street lights 

A demo is conducted each day

The bore the water pumped out of

Guess you have to be innovative when you live out there.

So Thargomindah  or Thargo as the locals call it,

you were way ahead in the technology of power.

Third in the world 

believe it or not.

xDee

P.S. The Thargo pub  to the law of only Sir did the best steaks
