Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales,

                               Australia

                          Five years ago! 

If you would like to go back in time for the weekend then Kangaroo Valley may just be the place for you. There are old coins, hats, hearty meals and a sense of the past that is unique here and, at times, presented in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. Marilyn, found outside one of the pubs, is a reminder of a chaired history with the USA.  

There is a statue of a mermaid. Since the sea is some distance away from Kangaroo Valley this is rather curious sight. 

To get to Kangaroo Valley by road you travel on an old suspension bridge that has that wonderful 19th Century appearance.

 

At Kangaroo Valley we glimpse here and there what life for like during the years leading up to the First World War and the First World War years.

There are collections of Biggles novels and Phantom comic books. And there are bricks left over from one of the Olympic Games held in Australia. 

There is an excellent pie shop with a welcoming sign plus an owl that has seen better days. 

 There's is an old church with stained glass windows and an organ.

  The pubs cultivate a rustic feel with furniture and fascinating adds from a bygone age  to catch your eye.   

And here is the only birds I saw that day I was in Kangaroo Valley. 

                                                                   CHEERS!
