After leaving the Blue Mountains, Mike and I headed further into the interior. Our final destination was Hillston, but we hit a few stops along the way. I mean, as someone from the Pacific Northwest, if you see a sign for Portland you gotta pull off the road, right? I was excited to do a little comparison.
Population:
Portland, OR = 593,820
Portland, NSW = 2,095
Elevation:
Portland, OR = 6.1 meters (Downtown waterfront)
Porltand, NSW = 925 meters
And well, that’s about all the information I got off the sign. But as you can see from the photographs, population and elevation aren’t their only differences. (If you’re not familiar with what Portland, Oregon looks like, click here.)
We didn’t do much more than walk down the street and duck into a few shops, but it was a fun little detour.
xo, jill
