We have go for drives around the district, Warialda & Inverell and visited all the shops in town. We even spoke to two elderly ladies who have lived here for 60 years and knew my Mum well, it was lovely to hear them speak so highly about her & Neil, we certainly felt the love. ❤️ We always visit the Batterham Lookout where both Mum & Neil’s ashes were scattered, you can see their old home from the lookout.
A lot of our time here has just been relaxing, watching the birds along the river. Other RV people come and go but majority of them keep to themselves, we have found that to be the case at many camps we’ve stayed.
We visited Myall Creek where a massacre took place with many aborigines were killed, an excerpt from a Govt website states:
[“Early in the morning of 18 December 1838, seven men were publicly hanged at the Sydney Gaol. They were the first British subjects to be executed for massacring Aboriginal people.
The Myall Creek massacre was neither the first nor last massacre of Aboriginal people in Australia but the NSW Supreme Court trials that followed set a judicial precedent. However, attitudes towards such massacres took longer to change.” ]
Tomorrow we head towards Newcastle area to finally get to visit our friend Nerida, wife of our mate Kimbo who passed away nearly 3 years ago. I’m sure there will be tears mixed with some laughs and reminiscing about our times together.
