We were on the boat for about an hour
This boat was renamed the Philadelphia or the filming of the movie All the Rivers run.
There were three cabins on the top deck, people must have been very short back then as the beds were tiny!

After the boat trip we looked at some static steam engines and things they drove up on the bank and then went tourist shopping at the discovery centre, we did look at historic stuff too!
We walked about the old wharf area finding answers for an Adventure Lab

This building was all that remains of a brothel established by a hotel owner, there was a wooden building in front of the brick but that was burned down, year's ago.
Have been sitting outside but heading in now as it is cold! The cockatoos and corellas are all coming into the gum trees and they are very loud!!
Tomorrow we are heading off to Forbes.
Happy stitching.
Nice day spent having a steam boat ride and checking out the interesting things in town.
ReplyDeleteYes Thales birds are very noisy . Our town gets invaded each year with the white cockatoos..

ReplyDeleteLovely to hear about your trip. That's a great selfie 😍
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Sue - I am catching up on your posts. I always envy these trips you & Raewyn do on the way to Baradine. I have been on a paddle steamer on the Murray River many years ago (cannot remember the name of it) with Mum & my Aunt & Uncle. I loved Echuca & seem to remember some cute little shops there too. Enjoy your adventure both of you. xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you and Raewyn had a nice day together.
