29/4/22 Cootamundra Drive

 


   Another day arrives , and we head over to Cootamundra - about 38klms away . We weren't sure what we'd do , but we'd have a look about anyway . Starting off , we headed around to there big attraction for cricket lovers , Don Bradman's birth place - and here is that piece of hallowed Cootamundra .


    A bit further along is Bradman Oval , giant stumps & bat as well !!


    Then the Captains Walk - all the captains of Australian Test Teams are here , well their heads on columns for all to see , names and statistics on each one - some memorable , some recognisable , and some not so !


   A little bit of shopping was done before we headed off down another gravel road for an alternative way back to the van . This road took us through ploughed fields , planted fields and burnt fields , and was great to go another direction . The roads look just like a track through someones property , the adjacent properties showing the results of the recent rains .



    The burnt wheat stubble rows caught my eye , so we went aerial for a few photos .



   Beautiful country .


   Here's our little track through the farms , we did have to get off the track to allow a tractor & seeder to get past .


   We were lucky enough to get another nice day .



   Back closer to Muttawa , we found an interesting contrast in colours - fresh green crop and black , burnt wheat stubble , mix in a little orange track and here you go .


   The wider view of the same fields .


   The green was almost glowing .


    And that was our day out , here's a map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1aIyVDjCBUUGN1DPL4l-KTpZQMglxlf-_&usp=sharing
