Thread: All the way around Aus

For such as relatively small club, the Dorrigo Show was very impressive, plenty of items on show and for sale, plus a heap of quality timbers for sale cheap.

As Dorrigo was on the Waterfall Way, I couldn't help but stop at a few of the beautiful waterfalls (small on on way up Dorrigo Mountain, Dangar Falls and Ebor Falls), and I am currently set up to stay at Ebor Falls.

Good to be footloose and fancy free.

Cooma heading south with Melb in sight, there are more interesting options than the Snowy Mtn Hwy to Tumut. Look at Bonang to Orbost, or Bonang to Mackillops Bridge and then south.

Hope you have a great trip.

nice
love waterfalls

If you pick up too much timber I'll be only too happy to look after it for you

Hi Neil
great to have you stay next time you will have to stay a bit longer so we can get the lathes going and show you a bit more of our area Have a safe trip and i am glad you enjoyed the water falls
Thanks Andrew & Michelle

We are a long way of yet but on the homeward stretch call in and see us we manage a campground caravan park in Imbil near Gympie. We can catch on the early days of the gold coast wood turners I realise we are only a few hours away from being home again but if you are looking for a stop before home we would be glad to have you here.
Regards Rod.

Some nice looking work there.They should have plenty of raw material in that part of the world.

Currently in Tamworth after a day looking at gorges and waterfalls (although most dry) around Armidale. Here's a couple of panoramic shots of Wollomombi River. Would have been amazing if the rivers were flowing, the waterfall picture is at the junction of a number of rivers consisting no doubt in flood of numerous waterfalls, the other shot is if the gorge that extends for miles.

Hey Smiife, you are from Armidale, wish I had known I would have called in. I didn't see any timber worth crabbing, mind you I have a full load already, although I did pick up a little bit of forest sheoak from Dorrigo (that looks exactly like the Rose Sheoak we get down my way) 1.8mx400mmx40mm that is now tied up under the trailer

I have looked at the pamphlets on Tamworth, but as I'm not into country music or horses, not much to see. Someone told me about a underground mine and a wool spinning mill I will look into.

Off to Scone tomorrow to catch up with AWORKA (Alan).

Even if you are not into country music the Hall of fame is worth a look.

I'm not but enjoyed it.

Hi Neil,

When in Canberra why don't you drop into the Hall Men's Shed where we have an extensive museum of old tools. You can also see some of the work we do. We are open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings from 10:00 to 12:30ish. We are in Palmer Street Hall. Our paths may have crossed previously as I retired from GHD in 2008 where I worked as a Civil Engineer for over 20 years.

Graham Moss, now that name does ring a bell. Calling in to the men's shed sounds like a good idea Graham, I'll post when I am down that way. Please PM your ph no. so I can make contact.
