I woke to beautiful sunshine but on further investigation the vines and close hills were covered in frost! It did look beautiful but wasn't much fun scraping the ice off the car - I haven't had to do that for a very long time!
I set off for Canobolas mountain top - cautious driving was needed because of the frosty road. No wonder I keep seeing danger signs about frost and snow!
It was a great view but very nippy so back into the car to go to Canobolas lake. There's plenty of water in the lake and it was a good walk around it even if the croaking of the frogs was rather deafening!
Even though many trees are bare you can just see the buds starting to appear and it gives you faith that winter is on the way out! The
Wattle is really beautiful. Moorhens were having a great time chasing each other and the lake was looking very picturesque!
It was then time to go and visit a couple of the local Heritage villages. After meandering down unknown back roads I came to Millthorpe. This town's buildings were a step back to the 1900s. I enjoyed going in and out of the little shops and ended up at wine tasting shop. After the initial 5 second 'should I, shouldn't I' scenario I felt it was my duty to support the economy! The owner gave me a rundown of the history and I came away with a couple of bottles!
After a pleasant lunch I headed through Blaney to Carcoar. Carcoar is known as the 'Town that Time Forgot' - so true it was as dead as a dodo but a very pretty area! Much of this area reminds me of places in England!
