Mackay... or, The Real Australia

Unfortunately N4J we only get the yankee version over here so we have to learn to drive on the side of the road 

take it easy

Nice

[adroman]

I'm back!

bat ~ Thanks, bat, it's great to see you around 

Battlecat ~ Thanks, my friend! I do like the way the nature reserve turned out as well 

Jordan (canyonjumper) ~ Thanks, canyon! I'm glad you liked the update 

Alex (driftmaster07) ~ Thanks for the comment, my friend... and we have to spray for Mossies here as well. Seeya around!

scott1964 ~ Thanks, Scott!

djvandrake ~ Thank-you, and no problems 

sumwonyuno ~  yes, there are some nice houses in that suburb!

Nexis4Jersey ~ Thanks Nexis, and as dobdriver said, we only got the RHD version... (more details below)

dobdriver ~ Thanks for answering Nexis' question, my friend. Also, I use RHD because that's the best way to use most of the Road-side furniture.

976 ~ Thank you!

Today we will be visiting the Northern township of Kuttabul... which is a tiny town that has the Bruce Highway and North Coast Railway running through the centre of it... Here's an overview...

This town's housing is exclusively Suburban Set, which is currently being developed by us at the UCC... The set suits this town well, as it had it's heyday in the  1960's... and ignore the bout of "China Syndrome" near that watertower 


A shot of a cow paddock on the Western side of town... These cows are taking a well deserved break from the sun!


Another shot of the paddock.


A few houses beside the bridge that crosses Kuttabul Creek. Also, this shows the Livestock platform that has been apart of the town for years, and is a  reminder of the Golden Age of Railway travel.


The town centre, with the shops, school and distribution depot.

That concludes today's update... tell me what you think!

I'll be back around soon,

Havva good one,
Adrian.

That little town is looking really beautiful 
It looks like a quite friendly place and the atmosphere is great, too, especially with that river on the top
I particularly like the colour in all of your pictures - they're so colourful, yet they look realistic

Very well done, Adrian! The UCC houses really suits Kuttabul ! Where did you get the school?

Nice work! I only wish that SC4 would put shadows onto the cows, the game would be much more realistic! Looking forward to what's in store for us!

Alex

[Tomas Neto]

This rural area is very well done, I liked a lot!! 

[djvandrake]

Kuttabul is a nice little town.  Very quaint. 

[penguin007]

A beautiful little town there, I love the railway and highway making their way over the creek looks very realistic

Oops, sorry I'm a little late commenting here, Adrian. But, I couldn't resist!

Kuttabul is really a lovely little village, if it can even be called that, what is the population? Anyway, I'm really liking those houses. Do you know where I could get them, as they would fit my region perfectly. But still, the town is very quaint and lively. I think that's all that can really be said. 

Great job!

Ethan

[Battlecat]

Great looking little town, I really like those new houses.

[Nanami]

Nice town!

[adroman]

Fabian (Fabian93) ~ Thanks, Fabian! I'm glad I captured the town's atmosphere, and that you can feel it in my pictures  and, thank you, I find that Effect makes the pictures a bit more vibrant than what SC4 shows. Thanks for the comment!

Jordan (canyonjumper) ~ Thanks, my friend! That school is available in one of JBSimio's packs... which are a must have for anyone considering building a school.

Alex (Driftmaster07) ! Why thank you, and yes, that is a great limitation to the game  I hope I don't dissapoint 

Tomas Neto ~ Thanks, Tomas! I'm glad you enjoyed it... 

djvandrake ~ Thanks-you, my friend!

Will (penguin007) ~ Thank you, I'm glad my work has paid off! 

Ethan (ecoba) ~ Better late than never  Thank you, Kuttabul has around 500 residents, so I guess it's still a village... and if you'd like those houses, you'll need to sign up as a Suburban Set Beta Tester. and thank you, you don't need to say anything more 

Battlecat ~ Thanks, Battlecat! They do look nice there, if I do say so myself 

976 ~ Thank-you!

Well, I have been patiently working away on the Creek along side Kuttabul for the last week or so, I have sculpted it from a hillside, through the cow paddocks and under the Railway and the Highway, so there are some 15 pictures of my work... I hope you enjoy them!
Apologies if it all looks a little repetitive, but I really do like Rural scenes!


The creek starts atop a hill, along the Great Dividing Range.


Falling down, winding around...


Running through the hillside...


Fertile paddocks run along side the creek, where cows graze in the endless green.


Cows drinking alongside the pump shed.


A new Paddock being cleared.


More creek.


a "S" Bend


Passing along the cliff face.


The second waterfall... (Not quite the Victoria Falls, though)


The front of the drop.


The Rail Bridge, which worked out quite spectacularly, in my opinion.


A little island that's just a "stone's throw" away from the Highway bridge.

Th-th-that's all folks!

I'll see you all around the bend...


Havva good one,
Adrian.

[canyonjumper]

Awesome creek, Adrian! I love the way it turned out!

             -Jordan 

[Bobbi]

How beautiful the creek is.

[scott1964]

Nice little island, all it needs is a shack and place to fish. 

[Battlecat]

Nothing repetitive here, it all looks great! 

[bat]

Great work on your town and on the nature! The river looks really nice!

[ecoba]

Loving those rural areas, Adrian. There's a good variety of your floral plugins, it all looks very realistic. Hope to see another update soon!

Ethan

[KoV Liberty]

You surely don't disappoint! I love how detailed you are!

Edit: And to fix the "sun syndrome" with the cows under the trees, maybe darken them using PS. Just an idea of correcting it.
