We rode up to Sheridan St ( the main street ) and had a look at statues of Dad & Dave , Mum & Mabel - yes from the old radio show - they originate from around this area .
Up either side of the street are some impressive buildings , verandahs over the footpath , and art deco designs as well .
There are lots of chimneys on the rooftops as well .
Further up the hill is Old Gundagai Gaol , impressive stone walls , not a big gaol by any means , it also had a hospital building - this one .
Looked like an old ablutions block with timber shingle roof - in need of some TLC .
We found ourselves back at Prince Alfred Bridge & Rail Bridge again , this time at the other end where they meet !!
Looks just as bad as it did from the other end - maybe worse !!
There are many older houses here as well , these were right near the end of the bridges .
There's an old mill building , that's now a gallery .
While we were at the bridge lookout we met another couple Neil and Nicky , who we invited around to have a look at the RV and just have a chat , which they did . Turns out their daughter works at Canyonleigh ( out of Moss Vale ) close to where we used to live . Neil brought some beers around and we enjoyed their company for an hour or 2 , thanks for the beers !!
It was still 31 degrees at 6:30pm , so we went for a little drive up to the southern lookout . Great views over Gundagai . It shows the river valley and surrounding hills , the bridges showing up as they cross the floodplain .
Then we went to the northern side lookout - probably better in the morning rather than this late - the sun would be in a better position .
You might be getting sick of the bridges by now , but here's another with Morley Creek .
One of the locals .
That's it for today , a day that just happened , new people to talk to and good things to see !!
