Our 3rd trip to Australia day 4

 On day 4 we left Kiama headed to Gundagai 

First stop Albion park Cemetery to find the grave of my Great great grandfather the husband of the Great great grandmother we found in Rookwood he is buried with her parents my 3x Great grandparents so that was awesome to find them as well made me sad and happy at the same time 

On our way we stopped to do another bushwalk to see a water fall 

Our very first siting of a Lyrebird amazing 

was summer time so not that much water but still beautiful





This little lizard was on the path on way back 


Five miles from Gundagai in Snake Gully is the statue of The Dog on the Tucker box which is the dog in the Poem Bullocky Bill published in 1857 by Bowyang Yorke a tucker box is an Australian word for lunch box 

The  Poem 

We arrived in Gundagai booked into our motel and went for a look around town 



Photo shows old Road and Railway bridges as this was a flood plain



The bridge up close would not want to drive on it now 


Back at the motel I did some washing then caught up with the Neighbours 



We had a nice diner and an early night as it  had been a long day 

Have a great day :)
