A little bit more hilly country again today, very scenic.

Young may be the cherry capital of Australia, but where are the groves? I didn’t see any.

I came through Murringo, but other than a church and a few houses there isn’t much there (anymore). I think this old sign is much more interesting than the new one in the distance.

Then more rolling hills and nice vistas, and approaching Boorowa the signs announced the “Magistrates Tea Rooms”, where I had high hopes of enjoying a good old fashioned high tea. Hmmm, well, it turned out to be a little room at the visitors centre with make-it-yourself tea or instant coffee. So I passed and ended up at the bakery. Always dependable (or nearly always), and this time it was. Then caravan park where they charged me a special rate of only $10. One person, one little tent, and I could set up next to the BBQ station and shelter.

Then walk into town to get a bottle of wine at the IGA, “19 Crimes” 2017 Shiraz, on special for just $10. They have an interesting app you can download to make their wine labels come to life. Gimicky but fun.
