A Snotty Bub and Australiana Pioneer Village

I cannot believe that Hannah has yet ANOTHER cold! I realise now that the occasional bit of snot a week or so ago was not a cold at all. THIS is a cold! Poor bubby :-( She had a very unsettled early part of the night last night, and this morning was FULL of snot. Urgh! Hopefully it's over and done with by Christmas.

Look at my big girl standing up!!!

We visited Australiana Pioneer Village today.

"The Village stands on 27 acres of Hawkesbury riverfront land on the curtilage of Rose Cottage, the oldest timber dwelling in Australia. The Village is listed on the New South Wales Heritage Register with the Sydney Opera House and the Hyde Park Barracks. 

The Village was created by Bill McLachlan - a man of great vision who, in the late 1960's, saved many of the Hawkesbury's buildings from demolition or neglect and relocated them to Wilberforce to create an educational facility that allows us to still visit the homes and workplaces of our  Hawkesbury Pioneers. 

The Village has a Church, Bank, Post Office, cottages that our settlers lived in, Blacksmiths, Damper Camp, Stables, Shearing Shed, Police Station, one of the oldest barns in Australia, a Railway Station, Barber Shop, the Quilty Shed, shops and more..."

What a gorgeous place to spend a couple of hours! Incidentally, it's also where the TV Series "Wild Boys" is filmed!

 

We had VERY yummy Devonshire Tea...

Just as we were finishing our yummy tea and scones, this lovely horse was being led up the road. She is 28 years old!!!

50c for two carrots to feed to the horses... bargain ;-)

Gorgeous girl (despite all the snot!)

All in all, a lovely day :-)
