Robyn playing with her band at Leeton

We arrived home safely yesterday from Jugiong and now the four weeks away is already a memory, but a very nice one to be sure. I had tried to get this video up while we were enroute, but it wouldn't work so I had another go now and success. The clip is of Robyn and the band performing at Washington Furniture shop in the main street of Leeton Saturday a week ago. The properietor simply pushed display furniture aside to make room. They also provided complimentry morning tea. This will be the second last post for these holidays. Robyn wants to show you some of photos she took over the last week, so please check our blog out in a few days.

Hay to Leeton (Continued)

We enjoyed the Murrumbidgee River immensely and were always trying to get the perfect shot (which proved elusive!).

The best afternoons we had were when we got away by ourselves with the dogs and read our books for two or three  hours. Great relaxtion in such a beautiful setting.

Gorgeous river and gorgeous lady.

This is a good example of a tree that has long since lost it's main trunk and now had a mature secondary trunk replacing it.

I like these shots of Robyn.

We day tripped to Griffith from Leeton yesterday (about 55 kms). Nice town and had a good feel about it. Wide main street with well maintained lawn and mature trees down the centre. Main street was over two kilometres long. These flowers were growing in a roundabout.

Another view of half of the main street.

 The reason we are in Leeton this weekend is so that Robyn can participate in a gathering of NSW bands. Robyn is a member of the Wollongong Wind Band and here she  is giving a performance in the Washington Furniture Shop in the main street with her band combining with the Wollongong Brass Band.

Isn't she gorgeous? It is just turned 4 o'clock and Robyn has been away since three practicing for tonight's massed bands performance at the Roxy Threatre. I've had to pay good money to get a seat. Dang!

Hay to Leeton (about 160 kms)

Ahha. Back on power and so back to blogging. We stayed in Hay for a week and loved it there. Although town was about one kilometre away, from our campsite it seemed we were in the middle of the bush miles from anywhere. One night we drove 15 kms out of town to a sunset viewing area. The sign in this picture points to where it is. Standing there it seemed we were in the middle of a huge circle. Completely flat with no trees. Would have been better to have been there alone and absorbed the vastness of the landscape and the stillness around us.

On rare occasions the sunset would be spectacular, but you would have to be lucky. It would work best if  there were interesting cloud formations up the the horizon with just enough of a gap at the horizon for the sun to shine under the clouds. The lines are vapour trails which is not very natural.

Robyn silhouetted. I like this photo and should have worked harder on getting the best photo possible. More tomorrow......
