A few more photos from the start of said holiday, still in the process of exploring the Snowy Valley Sculpture Trail.
After reminiscing around Batlow, we headed toward Tumbarumba, through Bago State Forest and onto Tumut.
This amazing gold shell with legs is on the pavement in Tumbarumba, but not sure whether there was a plaque for it. |
As we wandered about the town I spied this near a park. |
Ah..........good old Hume & Hovell, famous explorers. The Hume Highway was named after one of them and is the main route between Sydney & Melbourne. |
A little about them in this plaque. You may have to click on it to enlarge for reading. |
Now to the Bago State Forest, somewhere we know, but long time since we'd been. There were all sorts up there, but I'll show the one we liked best.
The sculptors name above and DH posing with the sculpture below. The hand sign is mainly for our Car Club's ongoing competition for the 40th Anniversary year. |
Someone had played around with this large stone. I did think it rather cute. |
Next was on to Tumut, another town we know well from living in this area. I didn't find any sculptures here, so we had lunch at a cafe, then headed back towards Gundagai where we were staying. |
I remember these old petrol pumps from my childhood. |
Down one of the side streets I noticed this mural and just had to snap it, as I wanted to show one of our car club members who has just moved from his farm (cows of course 😏), into town.
Two last pictures for today.
Love finding some different signs. Brumbies and kangaroos. |
Oh...............and of course my lonely chimneys. I have quite a collection of these. |
OK, my lot for today, but I've promised myself to get this holiday finished over the next week, as we've had a few good days out amongst all the bad weather & hectic bits'n'bobs happening on the home front and this stupid Windows 11..
Appointments galore with medical, young brother and a few car club moments.
I have been reading all my blogs, but can't comment on my old laptop & still have trouble with this PC at times.
Take care everyone and hugs to all.
Susan.
