Parachilna



Heading north we pass through the tiny town of Parachilna (population less than 10) which is not much more than this pub that makes a fine trade in feral food for tour groups.

    Hm, feral food ... (sorry if this is disrespectful but my first thought was "roadkill" - couldn't help myself).

    I like the second photo - I guess this inspired my thoughts ...

    Hmm, you are not talking about roadkill, aren't you?

    Hm ...

    The Flinders looks so different in good weather. One day I'll go back and see it properly. The day it wasn't raining was so cold and windy it was unpleasant. I'm trying very hard to finish my photos and get them online. Nearly done.

    Did I tell you that Sydney Open tickets are on sale. Can't remember whether I could access your blog or not.

    Martina, not roadkill though wild not farmed animals. The menus is quite up market. I've added a photo of the chalk board to give you and idea. FYI quandong and bush tomato are fruits from native plants.

    Ann, I look forward to seeing all your photos. We are having an amazingly wet year.

    Red, they say we would be much better off eating native animals for meat as they are much less stressful on the land than sheep and cattle.

    This is one of the most exotic menus I have ever seen.
    "Mettwurst" is German but I am quite sure you won't find a camel mettwurst anywhere in Germany.
    Thank you for this very interesting info!

The end

I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog -  My Bright Field  - to record the delights of my new life adventure. If you are interested follow me over there.  I will still be Sweet Wayfaring and collecting Royal Hotels.  The delights I discover along the way will appear together with my gardens and towns where I live.

Larras Lee

We passed through Bakers Swamp without noticing anything.  Then reached our last dot on the map for this trip - Larras Lee and saw this.  The roadside monument says: In Memory of  WILLIAM LEE  (1794 - 1870)  of "Larras Lake"  a pioneer of the sheep  and cattle industry  and first member for  Roxburgh under responsible  government (1856 - 1859).  This stone was erected  by his descendants.  --- 1938 --- This is a repost from a few days ago. Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one. William was born of convict parents, living his childhood years around the Sydney region. In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well. A few years later he was granted a ram and an increase in his land to 300 acres. William developed a r

Coolibah?

Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
