At Canowindra we had to buy a loaf of bread for lunch - but where to park as you can see by the photos plus we drove into town and not bypassed it.
My husband is always 'tinny' when it comes to parking he often gets just outside the door of where he wishes to shop, this time it was no different even with the caravan in tow..we parked right outside the towns supermarket in photo 4.
These photos were taken with my phone and I missed them when doing my previous posts.
Down the other end of town, the northern end we came across the park which was lovely - lines of date palms.
I am sure I could lose myself in that bookstore for an hour or two.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you would have found many book to read about most things in that old book shop.
DeleteBeautiful palms!
ReplyDeleteSussi, those date palms were just beautiful and see an avenue of them was even better.
Deletewow the last photos are fantastic. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteThanks Gosia.
DeleteYou have a good week too.
Those palms are cool
ReplyDeleteThey sure are, just the bees knees :)
DeleteI worked in Orange for a number of years and work duties took me to Canowindra on a regular basis. It was also the source of arguments with my father who insisted it was pronounced canno-windra, rather than the c'noundra the locals use.
ReplyDeleteYou would know that area very well then EC. Pronunciation of town names can bee troublesome at times, I know we get into trouble occasionally when travelling if we say the names incorrectly.
DeleteEl camino es largo y pasa por cantidad de lugares. Una parada en el camino permite realizar muy buenas tomas.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Always interesting to stop if one can to take photos and see what the country towns have to offer.
DeleteHarden brings back plenty of memories from my West Wyalong years.
ReplyDeleteThe "Royal Hotel" belonged to cousins and where I had at times been
commandeered for bar duties. Also many rotary functions at Harden which
the Harden Rotarians turned into great shows of mirth, highjinks and fun!
The last three photos of the park area are near the swimming pool and the tennis
courts.
Yep I sure enjoyed my trips to Harden and through Harden on the way to Canberra and Young where Mum and Dad initially retired to.
Actually Harden is a "twin-like" town with Murrumburrah - I guess you recall that long straight stretch of road between the two towns.
Thanks for the memories, Margaret.
Colin
Wonderful memories then Colin. Pleased I was able to help those memories along..
DeleteRemember the straight bit of road :)
Never been there but it sounds like a nice place to visit
ReplyDeleteSmall lovely country towns Jo-Anne.
DeleteIt looks a nice little stop over town. My SIL is like that with parking. He calls them "Rock Star Car Parks" now if we are lucky enough to get one we say the same thing except I always get muddled and say, "Rock Car Star Park"
ReplyDeletelol...some people are just 'tinny'.
DeleteThose country towns in NSW can be very attractive places. The parking god smiled down on you.
ReplyDeleteLove country towns Andrew. I'm sure he was smiling down on us for parking, he must do it often then :)
DeleteAh this looks beautiful and serene place dear Margaret!
ReplyDeleteparking seems like an international problem whether big city or town
Parking sure can be a big problem, mostly in the cities or larger towns.
DeleteIt looks like a lovely little town. I'd like to browse in that bookshop.
ReplyDeleteI should imagine you would find all kinds of books and probably rare ones in that bookshop. Unfortunately we were pressed for time to get to next place.
DeleteBeautiful images, the buildings look like made of balsa wood, superb.
ReplyDeleteCould be, I have no idea.
DeleteThanks re images.
Those palm trees are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWas a surprise to see them, that's for sure and looking so healthy too.
DeleteOh my, those date palms are beautiful aren't they.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
They are Jan.
DeleteI think a grandmother on the beer fairy's side of the family comes from there might not have changed much since her days.
ReplyDeleteMerle...........
Interesting.
DeleteI don't think it's changed much over the years - actually it's good to see that it hasn't.
