REBELLION ON THE TURON

Sofala NSW in March.

This play acting represents the rebellious miner who refuses to purchase a miner licence. The (evil) redcoats have apprehended this poor miner and will presumably throw him in the gaol.

Lots of fun with gunfire and colour. Cobb and Co coach, blacksmith and more

Will go again next March

We were apprehended for not having a licence, penalty for ladies is to be dragged bare topped in the town.

A two night stay in the homestead in Capertee National Park

Ours was a group of 3 couples. we found the homestead both comfortable and warm as we made good use of the large open fire and the firewood supplied.

Kitchen facilities were good, a large gas range which all agreed was great and 2 fridges were more than adequate. The large dining table was well used. Two bathrooms serve the 4 bedrooms.

The park speaks for itself in the accompanying photos. Lookouts were great over the surrounding mountains and the river scenes relaxing. Lookouts, ruins, walks, mountain bikes, easy 4WD and a camping area with a loo.

While the park notes say a lot of it is 4WD, most of it can be traversed in a sedan with good ground clearance.

I have been to this park at most seasons of the year and like them all. This trip was in May and we found it perfect.

Details available from NPWS at Mudgee (phone 6370 9000) or Blackheath (phone 4787 8877). Entry is by coded padlock on Port Macquarie Road.

Enjoy, we did
