Day 172 Nundle Stopover

Wool Press
NSW Day 30 (172) Friday 12th November 2021

Nundle Stopover

It rained heavy last night. I had to get up and move my tent and gear off the verandah as they were just getting wetter.

The Peel River runs behind the park and in the morning light it was well up and flowing fast.

On a normal zero day I just relax and look around the town up, however, with the rain I do more relaxing than looking. I did walk across the road for milk for my cereal and later went up to the pub for a burger. But overall it was sitting packing and drying out my washing as best I could.

The rain is set to ease tomorrow and I only plan a short stay before afternoon storms arrive again. The antique shop is full and hard to look around but he does have top dollar on everything. There's a working woollen mill but it wasn't open and some other things but not much.

Nundle
There is a memorial to a plane crash "Lutana" that happened in 1948 killing all on board. One of the passengers was Fred Coughlan, Belinda's Father's uncle. He was a jockey travelling from Townsville to Sydney to ride for a trainer there.

When they sort out the trail with the National Parks the trail won't come this way.
