Lockhart, New South Wales

After a lovely peaceful night we ventured back into Narrandera to explore more of its historical buildings.

We tried to go for a walk through the Koala reserve over the bridge but the rain puts us off.

Back on the Main Street with map in hand we wonder around.

On the way to our the next destination, Lockhart (64km away), we turned off to go up Galore Hill, which offered us some beautiful views of the surrounding fertile countryside.  At the summit there were picnic, toilet and barbecue facilities and lookout tower. It is claimed that the bushranger 'Mad Dog' Morgan used the caves on the northern side as a refuge when he was being hunted down in the 1860’s.

Lockhart proved to be a charming Riverina town and is noted for its remarkable main street with its shady verandas, decorative iron work and beautifully restored facades.

It also has over 25 sculptures through out the town and holds an annual festival and competition. Many are made from recycled farm materials and depict farm life. Once again maps in hand we go for an explore. 

Then we make our way to Wodonga, Victoria, leaving New South Wales after 5 days… we make a promise to come back to visit this area more extensively in the future. 

Tonight we are in one of the 8 spots at the Wodonga Showgrounds ($30), in preparation for Busters’ Tune up early tomorrow morning. 

Completing 198km for today.
