We headed into town to check on the golf results from yesterday , I managed to win a golf ball !! After checking out some of the local eateries , we went back to the golf club and had lunch there - salt & pepper squid & barramundi - and very nice it was !!
Off to Central Tilba , not far away , they have a cheese factory , so thought it would be worth a look, the weather wasn't cooperating anyway . Stopped outside the carpark for a couple of photo's of Glasshouse Rocks .
Arriving at Tilba , first stop was the Cheese Factory , unfortunately nothing jumped out at us , so we wandered up the street to a shop selling timber bowls , tables , mirrors etc , all at reasonable prices for handmade works .
There was also a hibiscus with enormous flowers .
All the buildings in Tilba are built from timber - it's a National Trust town - there are Lolly shops , patisserie , bakery , leather goods , fashion - all sorts of , a hotel and an Emporium .
The Emporium has the 2 storey B&B , fuel station , post office , milk bar and general store - the inside is great !!
There's even a few rabbit traps hanging in the front window !!
Dodging the rain , we headed back to the ute , looking in the leather shop on the way , outside was a flowering plant that had lots of red & white flowers in pairs - some all white , some all red , and others a mixture .
The rain started to get serious without letting up , so we headed for the van . A quick side step on the way to look at Lake Corunna .
The rain continued for a few more hours , it streamed down the windows from the roof gutter .
The rain stopped later on and the clouds started to break , treating us to a nice sunset .
