When we first came to Sydney, we visited quite a bit of the state. Now COVID and closed borders has given us the opportunity to "mop up" and see the towns that we didn't get to see back then.
We are in Mudgee tonight. We got here via Bells Line of Road and Lithgow. We could see the devastation and stunning expanse of the bushfires at the end of 2019. You read about it, and see the news, but to see mountains and valleys with continuous expanse of blackened trees is amazing. We had travelled this same road in July 2019, so we could see the difference. Fires came very close to Lithgow - you could see it. Many of the trees have new growth, so it is gradually recovering. Some pics.
Mudgee is a neat and apparently prosperous town. Some pics:
Grand church and tower, but no bells.
The coal mining industry makes particular demands on washing machines - seen at the local laundromat
