Well i know its been to long, and I'm sorry. Work and Baby keep me busy but also i am just being a bit lazy. Any way we went to Albury with Andrea when she visited and once before that on a day off from work. Interesting town and just on the border to the state of Victoria.
On the way down we passed many canola fields and the brilliant yellow like butter spread over a massive slice of earth.
Now harvested its also wheat harvesting time and plenty of that around these areas. Wagga produces allot of wine and olives (oil) plus lots of other things and known as the fruit bowl of NSW. Anyway at the end of the main street is a big ornament at the top of the hill overlooking the town of Albury.
There is also old churches and buildings to see everywhere that is part of Australia's beauty.
So back to Wagga for the Jazz festival and trumpets and trombones everywhere.... however did not manage to enjoy much as busy working most days.. here's a little taste though.
Once a month in Wagga there is a big farmers market that sells all sorts of local produce from olive oil to pies to Junee licorice (as seen in earlier part of blog) to wine. And as you can see some people really like the taste testing from the Grog shed.... hmm!
Just recently there has been allot of rain, and i mean allot. I went walking with Ruby one day and this is the Old Wagga bridge over the Murrumbidgee river on a normal day.
So that's the way it usually looks. Now the heavy down pours and flooding photos of which my garden also got flooded...not having much luck with it but never mind.
This is the same bridge (If you want to read the water level on the left hand side of the bridge just double click on the photo).
Below is Wagga caravan park entrance with no entry as a little water logged. Next shot is is the building used for the Wagga highland pipe band which ended up flooded inside and out causing damage to the equipment and kilts.
"Wagga beach" was covered and so was the car park. Anyway until next time.....
