SATURDAY 7TH JUNE.... Rugby on at the oval last night and hometown triumphed! We took off for a walk this morning and came back and waited for Trudy and Gordon to arrive! Buck cooked Gordon some ribs he got from the local butcher,they look like dinosaur ribs to me!!
A bottle of red to go with them!!
The boys were in red meat and wine heaven!! 4 different sorts of mustards and lets dig in!!!
Happy Boys!
Meanwhile the emus have their own sport in hand!
Amazing they just roam around the town ! Buck is busy having a snooze,off to the pub for dinner tonight,we have 5 to choose from!!
SUNDAY 8TH JUNE...quiet day and a bit cool.McBurnies have headed off to Emerald about 300 kms east .MONDAY 9 TH JUNE..... Lazy morning but headed off to town with my camera....
Five pubs in town,there were 6 but the Globe closed this year!
The structure that houses what's left of "The Tree of Knowledge".
Huge paddles of wood hang from the top of the structure by iron and when it's windy they knock together making interesting tunes!
Huge windmill moved from a local station,only needs 3 km wind for the blades to turn!
Off to the local museum to read about the huge shearers strike in the 1800's and the Labor party started here on the back of the shearers strike! Interesting era of history!!
Huge moveable tent,they use as a theatre!
Local prison garb from the 1800's
This gold gilded clock heralded the end of the shearers strike!
Beautifully kept old house!!
Heap of old posters!
Old postie bikes!
Old Cobb n Co coach!
Beautiful wooden counter!
Presume this is a pot for boiling water??!!
Old exchange....
Schoolroom...
Love these bench seats!
Great old verandahs!
Equipment taken out of an old bush hospital!!
This is "The Tree of Knowledge"before it was maliciously poisoned in 2004!
