Eggbert's Travels

SHE SAID:

We had a day out in the mountains today. We drove up to the Snowy River National Park to McKillop Bridge. The map warned us that it was a steep, dirt, one lane road with few places for passing! It was right & luckily we didn't come across anyone coming in the other direction.

There were some interestingly named places that we passed through too; Seldom Seen had a "junk yard" petrol station, then there was W Tree Falls with no water & Ambyne Crossing had a lovely old suspension bridge. McKillop Bridge crossed the Snowy River and was huge & rather un-nerving with wide gaps between the wooden rails with views of the river rushing beneath.

It was probably the windy-est road we have ever been on & the 350km trip took us about 7hrs!

LOVE this old town's name!

This is / was the petrol station at Seldom Seen!

Some of the funny place names on our drive that Varena left out had rude connotations: Spanker's Knob was one place, and Varena had a good old chuckle about Deddick.... (think about it).
