Murrurindi NSW.

Murrurindi NSW where we stayed a night.  This town has less than 900 people, it's a tidy rural town.
There's a map at the bottom so you can see where we were in winter 2018 in relation to Sydney NSW.




Caravan Park at Murrurindi NSW.




17 km up the road we came across roadworks which was at Willow Tree.

  1. I chuckled at your comment in the last post about escaping the cold. I don’t think you guys even know what cold is!

    1. Yellow trousers which are not tight - that colour is supposed to stand out so we the drivers can see them.

    1. Certainly not many people there at all, it was early morning and no one was about.

    1. It would count as a town in the USA for sure, we don't even really use the term village.

    2. Most of our towns no matter how small are called towns, odd one might be called a village but usually was back in time.
      We have a place called Westbury not too far from home, it's a small town, there is a Village Green.

  6. In the good old days of the stream trains, the North West Mail (SYDNEY to MOREE -west and Glen Innis -north) had another stream engine hooked on at Murrurindi to climb the range on the way to Werris Creek where the train divided into a train to Moree and the other part went onto Glen Innis up past Armidale.
    Ah those were the days of excitement for we boarders going back home at the end of terms from Sydney.
    The antics on the night trains coming back were a nightmare for the conductors - ha ha.
    The girls were locked into one sleeper car and the boys into another - you would be surprised how energetic some of the senior boys were in climbing from carriage to carriage.
    Ah youthful love!!!!
    Cheers

    PS: Just in case someone gets the notion that pregnancies were common, I think far more imagination of lustful thoughts occurred than any action. Some of us had VERY lively imaginations!!!

      Wonderful memories. I bet you did have lots of fun on the trains.

  7. Like a school child, I had to sound out Murrurundi to get the pronunciation.

    1. I too have to think how to say that towns name. They are bits of tongue twisters in a way.
