Firstly some Scenery and an Old Gaol that Nic & Wendy (Opa_1) showed us near their place (South West Rocks - New South Wales) Bit of a dumb name for a place that is situated in the North East of the State  :confused:

















Think this one was taken in Tamworth NSW..



Glen Innes Town Hall  I think...(nice building)



Had a tasty seafood lunch at a tiny little cafe with a snobby name "Cafe on Sheridan" in Gundagai on Good Friday (Yellow awning in this photo)



A vey old timber bridge in Gundagai (NSW)







Trish took a lot of pix including these two of an old Train Station (getting ideas for her model train layout)





This was a lovely old town called Chiltern in Victoria (most old Tassie Buildings are Sandstone)









The MGs in this photo ended up on the Spirit of Tasmania coming down for a tour of our state  :D



Still more to come (maybe tomorrow night) :goodjob:

Great pics.  Keep them coming.

Why is it that other places look so inviting when you compare to your own area?
  • 1.4 Petrol Active I'm no expert, so please correct me if

Brilliant pics.

That Chiltern town looks like something from the Wild West, except for the red telephone box :D

Keep 'em coming  :brilliant:

That old Gundagai wood bridge would have been under water a few weeks ago.
That whole flat area just backs up from the Murrumbidgee River.

Mainland is quite interesting. Modern way of living, with a bit of a tropical island, a bit of a jungle, a bit of (as said) wild-west, a bit of victorian era... Hard to get bored at a place like this
