Eggbert's Travels

Monday 18^th September 2017

SHE SAID:

We had a look at Charleville's “Historic House” this morning. It is located on the main street of the town & was built as a bank & bank manager's residence in the late 1800's.

As with a lot of these old houses it was crammed full of old stuff, from hurricane lamps, typewriters, cameras, farming stuff, & everything else you can think of.

That done & the groceries bought, it was back to Bertie.

At 7pm we went out to Charleville Airport for the Cosmos Observatory Tour...Star Gazing.

We have done a couple of these tours on our travels & find them quite fascinating.

We saw galaxies, a Black Hole (where it would be if we could see it!) & Saturn, with it's rings, quite clearly. The viewing was only an hour long, & we thought expensive at $28 each.

HE SAID:

Charleville seemed like a nice place, and I thought the van park was good. Having seen plenty of historic houses, and done a few night sky observatory tours, I'd only recommend these Charleville tourist traps to people with limited experience.
