Our rail journey from Sydney was wonderful, we had great views of the mountains and the countryside. At Lithgow, we had to disembark and hop onto a coach for the rest of the journey and we arrived in Bathurst after 6pm. Janice and Mick were waiting for us at the station.
They were the perfect hosts and made us feel very welcome.
They are also the best tour guides, and took us tripping about in town,
The fernery was lovely and peaceful after the hustle and bustle in town.
The route back to the car took in some interesting murals. (Murials, to those who know!)
Mick was very obliging when the call for models went up!
There were also trips out of town.
We saw many more murals.
These ones were in Eugowra and tell the story of the Escort Gold Robbery.
Tony took lots of pictures.
An important thing on our list of places to see was The Dish, at Parkes.
For those who don't know, it is the very same dish that received most of the television pictures of the moon landing, back in 1969.
We were surprised to find that entrance to the visitors centre was free.
That almost made up for the swarm of flies!
Mick joked that I would be an honorary Aussie if I swallowed one.
I guess I'm an honorary Aussie then......
EWW!
And here we all are, after I spat out the offending fly!
