Picket Fence Fancy Road Trip

Mr Picket Fence, the Picket Fence Children and I have  just returned from a weeks holiday to Dubbo. We are lucky enough to have a set of parents in Dubbo NSW  and an Aunt and Uncle on a Farm an hour and a half further in a place called Mendooran. Think outback NSW , Banjo Patterson, dust ,cattle and shearing sheds. We split the road trip over several days. About 10,000 green bottles sitting on the wall, lots of laughter, a number of antique shops, an equal number of country Bakeries, two motels and about 500 toilet stops later , we had the perfect holiday / escape for our coastal family. I will show you what I bought in another post, but for now, here's some photo's to give you an indication of how much fun we had.....Jump off now if you don't love, sheds, dust , sheep, frost and windmills ...this is my idea of heaven.

 One of the Picket Fence Uncles was confused as to my fascination with his rusted out vehicles... Now this is industrial art at it's very best.

 Bonding :)

  Treasure !

  See how much wider the sky is in Mendooran !

 Worlds coldest garage sale !!!!

 Windmills everywhere.

 Wellington Caves , NSW. One of my favourite places we explored with the children.

 We stopped at Cockington Green in Canberra, a minature village,cute ,English , a little kitsch and absolutely brilliant. I might add that the roses here are exquisite , a must to visit in Summer.

Ahem...yes...we did stop here :)

 More beautiful Rust.

Charley the Sheep.

 Picked crates full of Oranges..

 Love is being carried home when your legs get too weary to carry you further xx

  Beautiful old train station in Wellington NSW.

 Iron Lacework everywhere.

 Oh I could go on and on and on about the architecture these buildings display.

 Imagine inside this beauty !

 A Car show made Mr Picket Fence smile... for hours .....  x

 Country cafe at Canowindra

 We stopped at Questacon, The National Science and Technology Centre , fun and educational, Mr Picket Fence and I enjoyed it as much as the children.

 Western Plains Zoo 

A wonderful time was had, and it was lovely to catch up with the ones we love. A whole lot of the best kind of family memories were made! Can't wait to reveal my op shop and antique store bounty next week  Stay tuned :)
