Gulgong

 Today we investigated Gulgong, an old gold mining town to the north of Mudgee and one time home of Henry Lawson.

It is a town of well preserved old buildings (and a good coffee shop).
We caught up with a group of car enthusiasts heading for a rally at Dubbo with a number of magnificently restored touring cars.
We visited the close by "Hands on Rock" an historic aboriginal site that had been saved from the nearby coal mining operations.
The hand outlines were still visible on the protected rock walls.
Down the road was the Drip Gorge.  A National Park that preserved a beautiful valley that faced destruction from a proposed coal mine.
We discovered that one of the pubs back in Gulgong serves a great pork roast as a lunch special so no dinner tonight!
In place of dinner it was drinks on the patio and detailed analysis of the days discoveries.
