We walked to the railway station. What funny little train tracks. It is a narrow gauge railway only used by Puffing Billy.
Sadly the sweet shop has closed down. The murals are kinda cute.
Tea rooms, collectables and a car museum. Yep, that is a London taxi, a quite modern model.
When visiting a country town, there should always be a rotunda. I do like a good rotunda.
This is a very round oak tree. I know it is an oak as I nearly went a over t on acorns at the base of the tree. It is also a very large tree, perhaps the largest oak I have seen.
Rosellas feeding in the grass.

I don't know who Andrew Richie was but he died at a young age. The plaque is on the water tank stand, the tank water being used to fill Puffing Billy's boiler.
Great photos, Andrew. It does look chilly. The oak is a beautiful shape. I'm glad there are no powerlines to halt its progress.
ReplyDelete'I do love a good rotunda'
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you HawtAndrew, I like to be appreciated and I think Jayne would agree.
And LiD, there were thousands of acorns under the tree. I hope that means it is healthy.
ReplyDeleteJahteh, I am stumped for a suitable reply.
Eastern Rosellas ... and I loike rotundas too ... band stands ... very useless looking things ... I love uselessness ...
ReplyDeleteBit of a worry Julie. The rosellas seem to be disappearing under the weight of sulphur crested cockatoos. I wonder how many rotundas are now used for performances? They are rather like follys now.
ReplyDeleteGembrook is lovely, I had a friend who lived up there long ago. I have hilarious memories of being in front of a fire at the local pub and being rather, ahem, stoned & getting a grand attack of the paranoias and fleeing before "they called the cops". LOL! Aah the olden days.
ReplyDeleteHaha Fen, the paranoia! We saw the pub. It looked 'interesting'.
