Bonshaw

Next stop-over was a visit to my sister, Sue and brother-in-law, Frank at their farm at Bonshaw. It is always great to visit here, apart from catching up on family gossip, the solitude here is therapeutic to the soul.

Our Cruiseliner parked alongside the farm house at Bonshaw.

To begin, I should apologise for the too large gap in our reporting. Fairly soon you might be complaining with the boredom of too many posts as I attempt to catch-up with our travel news. I promise to keep it brief, concise and on track.

On our trek to home after touring Tasmania we stopped over at the small country town of Dunedoo, situated on the Golden Highway, east of Dubbo, NSW. We were extended a very warm country welcome to the 'Lions' Camp Ground in the main street of the town.  "Select of spot anywhere you like, but stay away from the gum trees, we are expecting some wind tonight. I'll collect the fees later, when you are settled." Said the Caretaker. Settle in, we did. Found our way to the Camp Kitchen and met up with other campers, stayed till late, chatting and sipping a very good vintage red wine.

This is one example of unusual metal sculpture in a park, 
along the main street in the town.

Another example of Australian bird life from scrap metal.

The person responsible for the art work is very talented.
Using scrap material to express their vision.
