 Good one Plain Truth.

Leeton, NSW.

We had a great visit, lunch at RSL was excellent. It was amazing to see the growth of Leeton since I was last there in 1980 for a load of hay.

Where are you going to takes us with a photo?

Hi Dicko

Interesting back in June we spent 3 weeks around this Village and enjoy the so much we are talking about doing it mostly again.

We had a most enjoyable talk with a local worker having a lunch break, the walk up the hill she has done most for the 7 years.

You are in Alice Springs at the ANZAC Hil.

 

 

PS, I had trouble convincing myself it was, the centre flag pole threw me a little.

This small town has a very low cost powered sites camping.

A very good small Military Museum.

My stab is Meandarra as it has a Military Museum and camping, but the railway line was closed years ago and your photo has good looking tracks. Cheers. PS - I've not been to Quilpie but I looked it up and it has a military history museum.

Hi Plain Truth, Yes, Cowra it is. We didn't go through the Japanese Gardens as it was wet at the time we were there, but we did ring the Peace bell, visit the POW camp site and the Japanese cemetery, then the rain came again. Would like to go back. The water tank was painted after we were there and I like silo/watertank/tower art also.

Over to you Plain Truth.
