@ Michael: What a beautiful, well-kept park on the ribble. I feel like strolling there.
Thanks Sneider Autumn is in the air here and I’m sure spring is very much looked forward to in the northern hemisphere. What I really like about this thread is the little bit of history or local knowledge everyone includes with their pics One of my fave country pubs, Wollombi Tavern in the Hunter Valley …great burgers (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
That looks like a great pub! When I eventually get out to Sydney I'll have to try and persuade someone to drive me out there. I've got to try Dr Jurd's at some point, though. It looks like the Aussie equivalent to Buckfast.
Be good to see you out here Michael, I’m sure we’d find a way to get you to Wollombi Dr Jurds is only available from this one pub but lots of people have a bottle in the back of the cupboard, it’s a little raw! The photos don’t really do the pub justice, there’s a big beer garden out the back and until the 90’s was still all dirt roads. Very busy on weekends, great trip on a motorbike The Hunter Valley is a premier wine growing area and definitely a great place to visit
Great pics Eric, looks a lovely place to live.
It's a long term plan, although Covid has made a slight mess of it; I intended to come out for the Ashes at the end of this year and do Brisbane and Adelaide, then in four years time do Melbourne and Sydney (I've already done the WACA in Perth). As it is, I might end up only being able to do Perth again as I know I'll be guaranteed to get tickets; it depends on the world situation and how generous work are feeling. Dr Jurd's does look interesting. I've been having a nosey on the pub's website - I think I'd take advantage of a free sample and then settle in with a Tooheys New and Old as they're the only two they list that I've not tried before. I would probably have to bring a bottle of Dr Jurd's back to share round a local pub with a couple of mates, though.
Let’s hope the Barmy Army are allowed over Michael, currently all of our borders are closed with something like 40,000 Aussies unable to get back here. Gotta love ashes time
excellent pics Eric
