The Road to Forbes.

For one reason and another, we had never been to Forbes.  Parkes to the north and Hay to the south , yes,  but not Forbes.

So tonight, here we are.

We had lunch at Leura.  It is a delightful place, and these days, a tourist stop. Much cuter than nearby Katoomba, IMHO.

Mobile phones all out.

Lots of loos in Leura.

And on a sentimental note. Many years ago, beginning a drive from Sydney to Smithfield, we (including Yvonne) were in Leura, looking for something to eat - like a hamburger or fast food of some sort.  All we could find was this eating place called "Silks".  In we went and when the meals came, it was obvious they were much more than fast food.  So we sat back and enjoyed the meal - and I remember a lovely lemon tart for dessert.

Today, Silks has closed down and this is in its place.  

The country looks green and lovely.  Sometimes sheep, sometimes cattle.
