After much deep thought I detached by self from Temora and headed north.

My first stop was Young which reportedly had some nice buildings. This town was a gold rush town of the mid 19th century and as a result it has lots of pubs and does have some fairly nice buildings. It was the scene of some very violent riots against the chinese people who flocked to the gold fields all over Australia. They were so violent that the army was called in to restore order and as a rusult of the turmoil laws were passed to limit Chinese migration. These laws were the forunners of the, so called, white Australia policy.

Anyway back to the buildings, my considered judgment was that they were more like Art Deco than 19th century. Either way they were nice and I took lots of photographs.

Then onwards and northwards, my next stop being a town call Koorawara where I expected to be able to see a waterfall. It was, as one would expect, some distance out of town. So off I went and after a while the road became unsealed but survivable at low speed, just a little above idling. Then it deteriorated much further so I parked the van at a farm gate and went walking, I needed a good walk anyway. The road the crossed  a causeway with water flowing over it, a very small causeway and very little water. So it was obvious the the waterfall would not be very impressive, the river bed was almost dry and the water flow was very sluggish. However I did walk for a little distance before deciding to return to the van and continue my journey. Which I did after having lunch next to the town’s church.

My target in Cowra was a free park which turned out to be a truck park pretty near full of trucks. So I have finished up at the Showgrounds which quite reasonable and complete with power and water.
