Tuesday Girls Adventure Part 2

 It rained all night Saturday night, it eventually stopped in the morning and we managed our morning walk, still needed umbrellas and raincoats for the occasional shower.

Tumbarumba had some lovely parks and a cute playground and bike track for the kids. I was required to pose in front of the bike shop!

 

We have been enjoying the lovely autumn colours.

After breakfast we headed to Adelong about 50 minutes away, looked like a lovely country town.

We headed straight through the town while it appeared to be dry to the Adelong Falls Gold Mill Ruins. It was quite a place to discover.

With all the rain that had fallen overnight there was a lot of rapidly flowing water through the falls.

There were ruins from the gold mining days, it was a fascinating place to visit and not what we had expected. 

We had to make our way down a rocky path to cross the river on this bridge.

The Tuesday Girls

We spent about and hour here before we headed back to Adelong, just as we made it back to the car the heavens opened and it was a heavy shower.

We waited out the rain in the car for about 10 minutes before heading down for a walk along Adelong Creek where we  could find more of the sculptures from the Snowy Mountain Sculpture Trail.

Adelong River was a pretty spot.

Next we headed to Nimbo Fork about 20 minutes the other side of Tumut. We had booked in for the Sunday Roast at the Three Blue Ducks restaurant, out in the sticks. It was a lovely drive out to Nimbo, which is in a valley alongside the Tumut River.

Here it is out in the bush.

We enjoyed a delicious slow roasted lamb shank with roast veggies for lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. 

We headed back into Tumut and thought we would walk along the Tumut River to help settle our lunch.

We had to retreat under the old bridge and a couple of other shelters as we encountered another heavy shower,

Then it was back to Tumbarumba with a short stop at this cute little shop selling handmade items for the local area at Batlow along the way.
