Doing the tourist thing around Tumbarumba

Hello again, sick of me yet lol.........we moved on but still within Tumbarumba and found this free camp spot called Henry Angel campsite henry-angel-flat info and even has flushing loos........

I did a bit of hand washing like the good old days in a little tub we have.......see all hanging in the warm bloody hot sun lol 

Off we went to do the touristy bit at this neat place......

Not many words needed on this post......inside the hut

Crafty friends may enjoy this post, but not Gordon lol 

knitted tea cosy's how quaint.....

Hey Andi how neat is all of this......

Oh imagine living in these times.....

all the different pegs.....I still prefer wooden ones......they last!! and I even have some of the dolly pegs lol 

I know some crocheter's out there will love these intricate works....... 

sorry for blurry snap, but cute dog tape measure lol 

Just like walking through my own childhood.......

Now these sheep were hanging around the machinery exhibit and looking a tad nervous lol 

ancient bath.....

Billy cans.....

Off they go.......

Trying to get bad pics of the machinery lol 

baa baa 

I loved these old telephone boxes.....we were lucky and had one around the corner from our house whilst growing up as no phone at the house......

Would have been interesting working this phone system lol 

Very interesting time we had......

Off down a dirt road which thankfully was ok.......

Lake Mannus, nothing exciting but hey......we are tourists lol 

And back to Henry Angel where there were HEAPS of cockatoos.......Lucy you would have loved to be there ☺☺ and boy were they LOUD.......

Looking back to Winnie while I was stalking the cockatoos.....

Toilet block in the distance......

And a little bridge for us to walk across the creek to the loos...... 

Squawk Squawk lol.......but we loved staying here despite the loud screeching and will again.....

Great little town is Tumbarumba and had never known about it......

We filled again with fuel and a few more supplies ☺☺

May you still be enjoying our catchup posts......xoxo

On the road to Tumbarumba

Hello again......boy I am sure having to remember what we did and where we went on this trip lol

Anyway......we decided next place to visit was Tumbarumba as they had some free camping spots.....and here is a little map showing the scheme and it consists of 16 major dams, 7 power stations, a pumping station and 225 klm's of tunnels, pipelines and aqueducts that were constructed between 1949 and 1974.......

We called in at this Museum in Cooma after we had a great lunch in the local pub.......correctiveservicesinfo

We were way up and the weather was a bit cooler ☺☺ Mt Kosciusko is located on the main range of Snowy mountains..... /kosciuszko-national-park

These trees see a lot of snow

It was lovely and sunny with temperatures in the high 20's and heading for high 30's down in the valley........

Can you imagine cycling around these mountains.........fit as

Looking back to the power lines in the distance.......

So high up and the lines drop straight down........

Waiting to let brakes cool on the car........lots of breaking on very steep road down.......

Heading off again.......towards Tumbarumba other info here

We even came across wild horses.......they roam this area and there was a sign but we past it before I could take a pic......

See them hiding in the trees......they were crossing the road and we also saw a wild deer, very fast and an echidna too 

Heading down to the look out over the falls.....

Paddy's falls......nothing like your Mt Hood fall Teresa falls and Gracie  lol 

But still pretty neat ☺☺

We parked in the town of Tumbarumba which had a free camping spot for self contained so thought why not......We could see the local pub ahead.....

The local police station opposite.....

Even toilets near by if needed.....

View from our Winie.......we had tea at the middle pub and meals were great......also shopped at the supermarket and filled up with fuel too.....helps the towns a lot......

Okay only a few more posts to go of this trip......I feel tired now lol

take care out there xoxo
