Street scene
This was taken on my journey from Bathurst to Dubbo this morning. This little old town is Molong. There is an old Cobb and Co building made from the same stonework circa 1875 nearby. Cobb and Co were made famous in Australia with a network of coach routes which had buildings where they had a change of horses ready.... they are the same distance from each other and some towns originated at these places. It used to take 3 weeks to journey from Sydney to our town, Bathurst. 20 minutes by air, 3.5 hours by train, 2.5 by car on a good day. The trip is slow over the Blue Mountains range which is pretty famous for its spectacular views and famous blippers. it is a nightmare to drive through as the road is always being done up and there are school zones and I once counted about 60 changes in speed from 40 k/h in school zones to 110 on the expressway.
Home again now after a 430 kilometre round journey. Had a 2 hour meeting, visited my Mum ( and brother) and dropped off a computer at the 'other' office. it was a lovely warm day with fields of golden canola and green crops of wheat and oats.
