Day 13
Denman to Dubbo.
It was -4.5C when I woke up in Denman., but as soon as the sun started to rise, the temperature rose. We didn't hit the road till after 9am by which time it was about 6C. We head south on the Bylong Valley Way for about half an hour
before turning off towards Coggan and Wollar, which leads us into Mudgee and from there we head into Wellington. A huge solar farm near Wellington, I've probably only captured about 1/4 of the actual size, and there is obvious works going on there further back for another massive expansion.
Two blue and yellow Macaws flying past a war memorial in Wellington NSW. That sort of thing happens all the time, doesn't it ?
and a wedgetail eagle sculpture. The weggie has special significance to the local indigenous peoples.
Someone here obviously has a thing for cows..
The town of Yeoval is where Banjo Patterson lived as a child, and they remember him in town. There is a sculpture park which has a few items.
A picnic shelter in the shape of BJ Patterson's hat
In Dubbo we take in a tour of the Old Dubbo Gaol
Display of items used in the gaol, including wardens battons, straightjacket, shackles and irons, and hangman's nooses.
The old gallows. Despite about 28 prisoners being sentenced to death in Dubbo, only 8 prisoners were executed here, and the rest had their sentences commuted.
And finally a beer at the Pastoral hotel
