For our friend Wade |
We spent a very rainlashed stormy last night out at the Lake. It had been incredibly hot and we were happy to feel it cool down but we had dust storms, rain, hail & lightning. Happy Hour came to an end.
Brewery Building |
Headed back into town to camp up and do the laundry, shopping etc. At 4pm on Easter Thursday afternoon, Rick finally felt like doing something so off we went to the local Abattoirs!!!!!!! to the Italian deli there and bought some salamis. By the time we did that, everything else was shut for Easter, there are 15 wineries here but didnt get to any of them, so on Good Friday morning we left. Fields of crops, orchards & vineyards everywhere you look in this area. What a difference having water makes to a region. Travelled thru a lovely little town called Leeton. Full of beaut Art Deco buildings, did a quick walking tour and then headed to Narranderra. Camped up there at the boat ramp on the Murrumbidgee River where this beautiful old Brewery building stands. In 1921 this brewery produced 10,000 bottles of beer and 15,000 bottles of cordial a day. Employed more than 100. Still producing cordial until 1986. There is a Hot Rod Rally here in Narranderra this weekend so we will be cruising the streets looking at them tonight & tomorrow. Have moved to the Showgrounds to camp up over the weekend as it is a very easy walk into town from here.
