NSW Trip - Armidale to Bendemeer

Well an adventure was had today. We set off from Armidale to Bendemeer curious to see a couple of sights along the way. We didn't take a main road as we would have missed a few sights. Well the usually reliable navigator who shall remain nameless (L.W) seems to have miscalculated and took us up some really off road dirt tracks and cattle grids trying to find 2 places.

Well after some assistance via Google maps - not , we used our map app to get us back on track.

Here we came across what we were looking for. A round Shearing shed in the middle of nowhere, but pretty cool.

A bit further up the road we came to Gostwych Chapel. What a nice old church and surrounds.

Elms surround the roads leading in and out

We headed off to Uralla hoping it was the end of dirt roads, it was, but we knew we were in the country. A bit of slow careful driving required here.

We stopped in Uralla for some info, noting that this weekend is Captain Thunderbolt festival. (Yep we celebrate criminals here).

Off we set off to our camp for a couple of days at Bendemeer, just north of Tamworth. (Tamworth full due to 2 big gatherings), but what a nice quite relaxing place. We setup then took a walk across the bridges (1 no longer vehicle use) to parts of town.

Lizzy wants to retire here!!

We stopped at the local shop and had an Iceblock to cool down in their garden area.

The next few days we will explore around the area including Tamworth.

Flower of the day for those keen. What is it? (Post or email answer please)

Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format. https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventua...
