My brother-in-law messaged me, asking if I would be interested in going to Barellan in late-September. “Where is that?” was my first question. My second was “Why?”. He sent me a link to the website for the Barellan Working Clydesdale festival and I thought it looked interesting but wasn’t sure if it was worth taking time off work for. Fast-forward to a month ago and my father asked me i... Read Full Entry

I am from Sydney, Australia. Despite working in IT, my main interest when travelling is history - particularly military history. As such, I tend to visit a lot of castles. Comments on my blog are welcome. However, any that include external links or urls will be deleted as spam. ... full info

What a great getaway
It is good to see you blogging. This was such a fun getaway. Not far, but wow it looked like a great time.

Thanks Brendan
It was Dancin' Dave who made me realise it doesn't have to be a long trip in faraway lands to be worthy of a blog. While reviewing my photos I could hear the words he said to me about another outing - "These photos are too good not to blog about it"

Clydesdales
Fantastic photos David. I'm posting some in 'Camels', 'Animals with character', 'Overloaded Transport', 'People of the World at Work' threads in the Photography Forum. Pity I did not read this blog yesterday as I had a client yesterday arvo who is teaching in Barellan for 18 months and back home for the school holidays. I wonder if she has any idea what she missed. Photos too good not to blog about for sure!!!

Thanks, Dave.
Fancy that... There's only a few hundred residents of Barellan so quite the coincidence.

Beautiful photos
I used to love our road trips from Melbourne to Sydney with friends (to visit my brother during uni holidays). We spent time in many of those small towns off the Hume, and I really wish I could remember the name of our favourite pie and chips shop :) Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Cheers, Ren

Thanks Ren
It's a great part of the world for sure. This trip has made me want to explore it more, so I'll look out for the pie and chips shop!

Thanks!
It was great to have a break after a few hectic months at work. It's also reminded me of the value of blogging even when I don't fly halfway around the world. I will be trying to write more often!
