Bathurst 12 Hour - 2018

Bathurst 12 Hour - 2018 ... left Pakenham 25th January ...


Royal Hotel in Benalla 




One must support the country folk


And plenty of room for the Jeep and van ... very conveniant 


First stop Yarrawonga Holiday Park ... expensive $55 per night 


Shorty paddling in the 39 degree heat




Royal Hotel in Berrigan ... Friendly publican




Great name for a BAR 


The main street in Berrigan on Australia Day ... no one cares


The Jeep waiting patiently for us to return from the pub ... 35 degrees  ... cooler than the predicted 39 degrees


Train in a park at Mulwala


Lake Mulwala 






 Royal Mail Hotel in Mulwala


Sitting in the caravan with the aircon on ... pretty cool inside compared to the outside temp 43 degrees ... and that's in the shade


Culcairn Hotel ... 


Model railway in the Junee Railway Museum ... I know who would like this


Best train on display


Reminds me of Thomas the Tank show


Shorty enjoying the dispays





Fireman Shorty





Heaps of three wheelers ... Lazy bike riders


Royal Hotel at Corowa ... too early for a drink ... next time


Cute Pubs in these country towns


A loose nut and bolt on this sign


Shorty loves these silo's








The owner of this museum must have loved Ford's


And Victa lawnmowers




Royal Hotel in Harden ... seen better days ... sadly closed






Nice looking Pub but crap meals


Is religion dead ???






Love these old buildings


The old open wire ... Shorts down Opens up


Strange names for a Pub ... suppose it beats naming it the Royal
