Today we ventured to Timbertown about 2 mins up the road from where we are camping.
It is an historic village showing some of the workings and living quarters of the timber workers of the day.
The main attractions were the miniature steam train, the larger steam train, a blacksmith shop, whip cracking and a horse drawn cart ride.
While not seeming to be negative it could use a few more things working, or people chatting about the working of some of the equipment.
The old steam driven saw mill was interesting, though not working, to cut timber it was operating to a degree. It showed how the 4 blades cut a log vertically. Then it went on to another section to be cut further down for use.
They had bullocks which I gather they put on displays but not today :(
A cockatoo that says "hello", some donkeys, ducks, chickens, geese etc
Generally we enjoyed the visit. On to our next destination tomorrow near the beach proper!!
