Robertson Showground 2016
On arriving at the showground
there was one BCC van set up we (France) chose our spot then two other BCC
arrived a short time later a total of 4 for Wednesday 2nd
November. After setting up three
of the club members went on a walk
in the back paddock to discover a partly tumbled down old brick/stone
house/work shed, old man time took over with a large tree growing through the
top, this looked like it had an old rail system at one stage and beside this
was the complete ruins of a house with an obvious tin roof, tumble down post
and rail fenced yard, our thoughts trying to work out who and what it could
have been like in the beginning.
One club member took an interest to some items but taking pictures to
take away was all we needed.
Thursday 3rd November
- A member, Barry Robertson, was sitting on a chair early on this morning
enjoying the sun, with his little dog, Jet. We were finishing breakfast when there was a very loud
commotion of people yelling, dogs barking and one very loud screech from the
little dog. A big Alsatian was
getting the upper hand over the little dog. It turned out this dog was wandering the grounds with no
lead and the owner not taking charge.
The woman admitted she did not have this dog on a lead and always let it
wander around, this was not good considering there were already caravans
around. This commotion was
eventually sorted but not a good result for the little dog he received two puncture
wounds to his back and was taken to the vet for a once over and given
antibiotics, not good for Barry.
Gil and Julianne helped Barry and Caitlin take the dog to the vet and
were relieved this was a better result than we expected and everyone could come
back to the Showground.
Gil, Julianne and Ricci then
took a drive out towards Carrington Falls
though these falls were closed due to a previous bush fire, we took a secondary road to the top of Carrington Falls beautiful mini falls and rock pools, Nellie’s Glen picnic area and Warris Chair Lookout
grade 3 walk, 1 hour return, due to the later start we did not do another walk which was longer. Nellies Glen was a very short walk ending with a beautiful pool and waterfall with a picnic table, where we had lunch. The walk to Warris Chair Lookout 2 km return Grade 3 easy walk, this ended with a magnificent view over the valley and sandstone rock walls of various colours a view to take your breath away. This was well worth the effort along the tracks we noted the native bush spring vegetation and a waratah growing where it should be, in the bush.
