Tiki tour day 7

Today we travelled on the freeway and dirt roads, had a little extra Tiki tour 😁
Fitsr stop Boorowa to do an Ad Lab along the main street
War memorial
Second hand book shop and sometimes wine bar!

One of the original shops
Old theatre and hall
We found a quilt in the window
Inside one of the pubs
old town hall
On the road now to Jugiong to do another Ad Lab
This town was rife with bush rangers and this statue remembers a policeman killed in the line of duty.
View from the lookout
Onwards now to Gundagai to the dog on the tucker box to do another AdLab
lots of refurbishment is happening here so not many photos
We then headed into Gundagai to get an Aussie passport stamp and to have lunch
One happy traveller, will fix at home
We then headed for the Ettamougah Pub - for guess what? Yes another Ad Lab 👏 😆
Tonight we are on Albury and it must be bell ringing night, the church bells have been pealing for a while now. Have been for a walk
Time to rest the tired feet!
Happy stitching.

Tiki tour day 6

We have spent the day at Cowra today, I spent quite a lot of time in the Westpac trying to sort a problem with our bank cards, two visits later all was well. So we headed for the Info centre
Oops first visit the quilt shop!
Statue on the main street
Now the rose garden.
We followed am Ad Lab that took us to the old watch tower where the POW camp used to be
We then went to find the painted water towers
We went to the Japanese Gardens and rang the peace bell after
We had some company who only wanted bread and would not eat his greens!! 
We walked around the gardens, fed the fish and ducks
We spied a 🦎 on a big rock
Checked out the bonsai house
We had a look in the cultural centre, lots of beautiful ceramics and kimono
Went to the Japanese war cemetery 
The found the peace bell and rang it! Hope the peace vibes came your way! We are resting and having a cuppa now.heading further south tomorrow.
