Happy Hump Day Friends! If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen that I spent nine days road-tripping to the Gold Coast and back at end of April and beginning of May to attend the Lions Australia National Convention. It was a fantastic five days soaking up the Queensland sun (which I now desperately miss), catching up with family I haven't seen IRL in years, and enjoying the Convention and I definitely want to go back up there and do more touristy things in the future. But it’s the touristy stops on the way home that I want to share today - the Australian Standing Stones at Glen Innes and the Captain Thunderbolt Country of Uralla. If you know me, you know I’m a bit of a history nerd, so anything touristy that involves history is right up my alley, and these two locations ticked those boxes. And I didn’t even know these locations existed on the road-trip route until passing them on the way north - my list of “places to stop at on the way home” was a bit of a long one, so naturally a few locations were skipped, but I’m glad I got to stop at these locations and soak up their history. Hiya Everyone!
I'm in a bit of a post-weekend away slump. Every year, my dad's side of the family get together for a family reunion over a weekend in March. It's always a super fun weekend and I'm always left in a slump as we all return to the real world. So, in order to try and make the weekend last even longer, I wanted to do a little blog post today about the weekend and the shenanigans we got up to. Hey Everyone! Over the weekend, I spent the day in Glenrowan, giving my inner history nerd the chance to finally enjoy the Ned Kelly history the town has to offer. Glenrowan has always been on my to-visit list, so it was great to finally step foot in the town and see all the town has in regards to Ned Kelly. My interest in visiting the town has certainly increased as I've gotten older, but it's since traveling to Forbes and visiting the sites of Bushranger Ben Hall that I've wanted to also get to Glenrowan for Ned Kelly. And since the recent Glenrowan film has been announced - created by those behind The Legend Of Ben Hall - it was the perfect time to visit! Hiya!
Back in March, I traveled to Forbes, New South Wales, with my family for a family reunion. My grandparents were married in Forbes in 1935, and my father and aunts & uncles were all born there, before they finally moved to Mulwala in 1956. Every year, my family gathers for a family reunion, and it was decided that this year we would head back to where it all started, and it was an amazing weekend filled with family history, laughter and love. But, family wasn't the only thing we did in Forbes. My parents and I went up a few days earlier to do some tourist-y things, as one of the things I wanted to do was check out the history side of Forbes, particularly Ben Hall. |
