Also on the way to Parkes . . .

There are many sites around Victoria and New South Wales dedicated to Ned Kelly--bushranger/criminal/folk hero. The famous Conargo Pub. Outside of Deniliquin, home of the "Ute Muster". A "ute" is a truck, I think a "muster" is when truck owners gather together to celebrate their trucks.

The town of Cowra had a Japanese POW camp during WWII. Over 200 prisoners died during a mass breakout in 1945. They built a beautiful Japanese garden to commemorate the dead.





Stopped in Beechworth for some beers.
