West Wyalong

It's been a driving day today. left Mildura early as we decided that we wanted to go through Griffith...many years ago I did a very long jury duty of a armed robbery and assault that had happened in Griffith...I had always wanted to see where all the things were that related to the crime...so today was the day...the bank is in the same spot but they have shut the back entrance (that was the escape route at the time) and the Police Station has moved but everything else was the same...

Stopped at Balranald for some morning tea and had the best slice, you know the biscuit base and like a cheesecake middle and the thick red jelly on top...so good...will have to get my act together when I get home, no more cakes and biscuits...

It is a huge growing area all around so many things, citrus, grapes, cotton, potatoes, watermelon, rockmelon, eggplant, garlic...there are stalls everywhere, we picked up a big tray of white grapes for $25 they were $5 per bag, like the ones you get in the supermarket or the tray and I think that there are 8 or 10 bags in the tray...don't buy grapes I have heaps...

Had lunch at a bakery in Griffith, can you see that there is a common thread here...chicken pie and then a gelato...

We are at West Wyalong for the night in a train...yep. Greg even found me a motel because I am such a princess and a whinger and the train is well different...stay with me here....it rocks when you walk up the corridor there is no passing room to walk down the side of it so if there are two of you it's single file or slot into the bedroom which is one of the compartments....if I sleep on the side closest to the corridor then he has to climb over me...so it goes like this, Greg has a shower and says oh the shower is really good, I decide to have one, hop in and within 30 seconds there is no hot water...I'm yelling he is laughing...I know I should have taken the motel room...oh well I usually wake up really early so as soon as I am up they will be too...payback....

They are really big on the knitted pole covers.

A bit of bike art.

Someone got a bit fancy.

Pretty sure that they had drovers for these cattle...there was a couple of guys on horses a little bit down the road with caravan.

As soon as Ethan gets in the car to drive there is something weird or long that is on the road...

Corvette in the main st of Griffith...

It had a leather bra in the front of it...

The bank in question...

Our train for the night....hopefully we will get a good night's sleep...might be smelly though...due to the hot water situation...
