We started off the day with a morning walk, past the Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory, down to the urban wetlands Deb and I checked out yesterday.
You could see St Joseph's church poking up from behind the wetlands
Deb and I checking out the boardwalk
A Tuesday Girls selfie- as Kerrie said- 3 young ducks on the boardwalk
We headed back up the Federation Walkway. The blossoms were out, it was lovely to see the signs of spring
After breakfast we headed out to Coolamon- to visit the Coolamon Cheese Company out there. On the way we stopped off at Marrar for morning tea
Coolamon was a delightful town with beautiful old buildings
We made our way down the main street to the Cheese shop
First to have a cheese tasting
The cafe was a delightful space and the staff very friendly and welcoming
They make all their cheese on the premises by hand. They had windows up the back where you could see the cheeses being stored
They had some lovely cakes to choose from, all made on the premises. We shared the lemon curd muffin which was just divine, along with a pot of native lemon myrtle tea
We chatted to the mother and daughter at the café and we were offered a cheese platter- we couldn't believe it when it came- it was very delicious- it ended up being our lunch!
We checked out the main street
which was delightful
The Fire Museum was open so we met the guy who runs it and owns all the collection- it was so well displayed and maintained
Then it was time to head back to Junee, we had a very important factory tour to be at by 1:30pm
We were the only ones on the tour, so enjoyed plenty of samples- we have done very well in the free sample department today- cheese, chocolate and licorice
Was a great day out
We went down into Junee afterwards to visit the Junee Railway Station, it had been beautifully restored
The old dining room was now a cafe
Deb and I made frittatas for dinner- nice to eat at home after a busy day out.
