Fairly easy day today. Drove to the Gaden Trout Hatchery today. Saw trout and atlantic salmon from the jelly ball egg, through the tadpole stage, small fish, large fish, farmed out fish.
Took a detour back to Cooma through Dalgety. This town and district was a front runner for the national capital back in the early 1900s. In the end it was discarded, possibly because it was too close to Tathra, on the NSW coast, and Victoria didn't like it! Anyway, the Snowy River flows through Dalgety, and the bridge there is one of only four that cross the River; that's all the way from Mt Kosciuszko to the Murray River!
Wierd weather today. Showers, sunshine, cloudy, but always cold, cold and windy.
There was a rally of pre 1965 cars in Cooma this weekend, Some fabulous old motors, and the sad thing was Alan knew nearly all of them! A lot of the owners stayed at our motel, so the cars were in the car park. Some of the drivers (and their wives) are older than us!! A couple of the wives used walking sticks!!
Off to Lakes Entrance for a couple of nights tomorrow.
More later.

Hope you have a great time in Lakes Entrance. Gary and I had a couple of holidays there, with the kids and without! Lovely place. The drive there if you are coming from Canberra is absolutely beautiful. Wont tell you we have been having mid to high 30's here! Lots of storms , a mini cyclone at Kingscliff last Saturday! Take care xxx
ReplyDeleteAlan would have been very disappointed you didn't let him take his fishing gear with him on the trip so he could have wet a line in the trout/salmon farm. You are certainly doing the hstoric tour of the Snowy Mountains, can't wait for you to get back so we can sit down with you for a few days and hear ALL your storys!! Love Pam and Vernon xxxx
