Road trip

Rhonda and I had a few things to attend to in Cowra so we decided to do an overnight trip to "The Camp" where we could also check the state of things after the Easter public holidays, cut the grass, etc.

I was still not 100% so I sat in the passenger seat while Rhonda drove up and back. The trip was about 2 hours and involved three major towns, each with their own hill ranges that led into broad valleys. The further west you went the broader and flatter the valley floor.

Leaving home - fog in town

Across the highway and onto the Yass plains  - the Lachlan Valley Way,

Route 81, Yass to Cowra

Into Boorowa

Boorowa War Memorial - country towns try to 'outdo' each other on the

lavishness of their memorials

Boorowa Plains

Morongalo - blink and you miss it.

Over the range and into Cowra plains

Entering Cowra - Railway bridge ahead

Cowra main street (Hate it - mostly reverse 45 degree parking)

Rocky hills, Darbys Falls - used in days gone by as lookouts

by Bushrangers (outlaws)

Darbys Falls - don't blink

Wyangala store and service station. Only this and the Country Club

as local businesses

Across the dam wall at Wyangala - soon to be closed to the public and a

detour route established through Wyangala township

Dam flood gates

Granite cutting - pneumatic drilled and dynamited out of the granite base.

Granite outcrops typical of the Wyangala, Darbys Falls,

Frogmore region almost like a collection of natural monolithic Menhirs!

Heading back home

Turning back onto Lachlan Valley Way - Route 81

Back into town

Over the bridge, turn right and home again!
