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.
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.
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)
