Day 146 Orange

---

The computer got sick and had to go to hospital for a few days which means I have to add a few days at once. Has been rather hot but it cools down at night so it pleasant.
Went exploring in the countryside. Started with Lake Canobolas then Mount Canobolas, Borenore, back into town to tour the golf courses and finished with Cook Park.

Lake Canobolas
The only full dam we have seen in our travels. Used to be the town’s water supply until 1957 but is now just for recreational use.

Mount Canobolas
This is in a State Conservation Area and the mountain is the highest point in the Central West at 1,395 m which makes it the place to put all the communication towers. This view is towards Orange but the haze makes it a bit hard to see all the orchards and vineyards.

Borenore.
This ‘town’ comprises of a shop and these single story terrace houses.

Borenore Caves.
Marble was mined from here in the early 1900’s including that used in the Sydney Central Station.

Wentworth Golf Club
One of the three in town.

Duntryleague Golf Club1
This was a large home for a local businessman with 12 children but is now the golf club and accommodation. Paul reports is a great course.

The old gate house for the estate.

Cook Park
This park right in town was opened in 1873 and many of the trees are the original plantings. This was the caretaker’s cottage and is now a craft shop.

Could not find a clock shop.
