Title: Dazz and Trish October 2019 Trip to NSW and Queensland.
Post by: Dazzler on December 07, 2019, 05:59:36
I have been meaning to post some pix from our fairly recent 6000 kilometre (30 day) road trip in the new Hybrid as mentioned in another thread.

Took heaps of photos. I think the best way is to make four or five separate posts in this one tread covering a few key events.

First one is some Citrus sculptures we were lucky enough to come across at Griffith in NSW when we stayed there. There just happened to be a festival on.

Some of the better ones..

Next the beautiful historic town of Echuca on the Murray River. Never get sick of this place.. Done the Paddle steamer thing several times so had a free lunch cruise which was great. Pay for your meal and cruise up the river for free on a deluxe cruiser while eating it (the lunch not the cruiser).

Definitely worth a look. We were certainly lucky with our timing!

We've had lunch on one paddle steamer and did a winery visit on another.. They are pretty awesome.

Great shots Dazz :goodjob2:
Thanks Craig.. More to come!

Next just a selection of the vehicles including Pedal Cars at the McFeeter's Car Museum at Forbes. Highly recommended - loved the use of props.

So these are only about half the photos I took at the Car Museum. We met the lovely elderly Owners/ founders. They were getting ready to change the models into summer clothing!

This could go on forever.. think I'll just do a selection from the amazing Sovereign Hill village at Ballarat and maybe a smaller one to finish off some of the nicer architecture we saw on our travels.

I enjoy posts like this immensely :goodjob:


The downside being they remind me what a sheer shithole of a country I currently live in.
