Deb, Kerrie and I (aka "The Tuesday Girls" ) headed to Tumbarumba for a short getaway. Discovering our local area was fun! We headed off on the Friday, making a detour into Yass to get our 1st breakfast at the Clementine Bakery and then Long Track Pantry at Jugiong for 2nd breakfast.

Next was a quick stop to say hello to the Dog on the Tuckerbox, then we headed into Gundagai and went for a walk up and down the main street. It was a bit damp but we had our raincoats and umbrellas to keep us dry. The main street has been done up and they had some magnificent sculptures.
This one was a tribute to Yarri and Jacky who helped rescue nearly 70 people during the 1844 great flood where at least 75 people lost their lives.

We stopped in Tumut for lunch then finally arrived in Tumbarumba around 3:30pm.
We went for a quick wander around Tumbarumba, and discovered the "Heads It Is" sculpture, just one of many of the sculptures on the Snowy Mountain Sculpture Trail.
Saw lots of lovely autumn colours
Our plan Saturday morning was to ride the rail trail but the weather put stop to that. It looked like it was just going to be showery so we thought we would head up to the hills and check out the Braymont Gardens.
However the rain decided it was going to be 'proper rain' and not just showers. We did enjoy the gardens despite the rain, we had umbrellas so ventured out.

The rain started to get a bit too heavy so we retreated back to Tumbarumba but it stopped after lunch and we decided to explore Batlow. It was a pretty setting but the town itself was rather run down, it was bit sad to see that. The area had been hit by the 2019 bushfires which hasn't helped.
We have certainly enjoyed the magic of Tumbarumba and surrounds.
