    Well Arrow town was sure a nice place to stay in. Lots of walking tracks and plenty to see.

    First Pic: First police station recontructed.

    Second Pic: Shithouse back in the old days. Never knew they had no doors.

    Third Pic: How a chinese store looked bac in the old gold mining days.

    Fourth Pic: Typical chinese miner home how it would've looked back in the old days.

    Staying in Arrow Town I came across this piece of artillary from Gallipali. The notice said the damage was from either a naval artillary strike or a miss-fire.

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Nice pic Andrew
    Planning a trip down south shortly before the weather decides to pack it in. Really looking forward to itI will catch up with you before then and get some travelling tips-your blog is great for that by the way

    Good on you Elysium-great pics (must get a camera before I go).

    Oh dear, another sad little post from the man who thinks sarcasm is wit.

    Not me actually, but I'll pass it on to Mark (he is a bit uncouth and I'm not really sure what was going on there).

    In these pics I'm outside of Arrowtown and went up this nice steep, zig zaggy road on my way to Cardrona. It was also the road I got attacked by a bee on my leg as I opted for jeans as it was too hot that day for a short ride.

    Dam bees don't seem to like Hornets.

    Well Cardrona pub at last, no doubt every man and his dog have been here but er..good on ya mate. On the way back I stop at a rest stop and took a couple of pics of this nice looking river and a small power station by the looks.

    This was also the spot those three army engineers died when their Unimog
    rolled.

    Pic:1 Athena/Minerva Goddess of wisdom/craft/war
    Pic:2 Nice looking public monument.
    Pic:3 Clock tower
    Pic:4 The working of said clock tower. Kinda cool seeing how the mechinism itself is very old.
