It's been some time since I've been there, but it looks a bit like Rottnest Island to me.

 Got it in one, we had a credit with the ferry company to use by end of Jan. I ran and got a cancellation,  heritage 3 bed cottage, some of the family came over for the weekend.

That'd be Coonamble, painted by a chap from Lightning Ridge, and an Aboriginal chap named Sooty. 

If that's correct someone else may wish to post a picture as I'm working long hours  again and can't monitor responses. Cheers

Hi JeffRae and Yobarr,

This one is Coonamble, so Yobarr has it, but he wants someone else to post a picture, so it's open to all. Thanks.
