Resting again

Here is one more abandoned shot from my last trip.  I have run out of material again and don't know when I will next go wayfaring. In the meanwhile I will be tripping down a Road that Beckons over a Blue Mountains Journal.

A Royal Contribution

Royal Hotle, Murrurundi

Royal Hotel, Scone

Diane has been on holiday from Queensland down to Tamworth and the Hunter Valley and picked up two Royals which are new to our Royal collection.  Thanks Diane!

I spotted a wikipedia entry recently which lists all the Royal Hotels and claims there are over 150 of them so we still have a way to go.  I am in two minds as to whether to use the list or to stick to my current method which is to just go explore towns to see if there is one there.

Worn out

My last image from this trip, found in Mendooran.

Another Royal

Royal Hotel, Mendooran

Ah ha, a Royal Hotel. When I was looking up caravan parks in Coolah I stumbled across a reference to the Royal Hotel in Mendooran.  It was only 70kms away so I just had to go collect it.

King Togee's Grave

King Togee was the leader of his local tribe, a big strong man standing over 6 feet tall.  Back in the 1850s he was speared by a man from another tribe.  

King Street, Coolah 7 of 7

The street ends at the local cemetery.  And tomorrow I am going to show you another grave that has something to do with a King.

In a country town the wide open spaces are never far away.  Here was a looking over the school yard to the world beyond.
