Eggbert's Travels

Tuesday 21^st November 2017

SHE SAID:

We did a drive down to Grenfell, birthplace of Henry Lawson, a famous Australian bush poet & story writer. The town still has it's old buildings & shop facades, & if you took away the cars and put dirt on the roads it would probably look like it was 100 years ago!

On the drive out to the Weddin Mountains National Park we were slowed down by heaps of cattle on the road; another droving camp. We have now seen 4 or 5 of these camps on our NSW outback travels.

Once again the orchids were non-existent. But we had morning tea, & walked up to the supposed cave that the notorious bushranger of the area, Ben Hall, used.

Me with Grenfell's most famous son -

HE SAID:

The town of Grenfell was another quaint looking country town. As usual, there were several shops and businesses that had closed down, but in the main it appeared to be plodding along nicely.
