What a wonderful day we had touring a few small cities around Armidale. A friend of Miriam's drove us to Tingha, a typical rural town in New South Wales, and then on to Uralla. In its heyday, Tingha was a mining town where a large community of Chinese established themselves. They had a general store that is still there today with all the goods they had in the store preserved as a museum. It's also has a small cafe where they serve Devonshire tea and homemade scones.
Some other buildings in Tingha.
Below is a typical bar, cafe, with rooms above.
On the way back to Armidale, we saw a sheep shearing shed.
Great day. Tomorrow we're heading to Dorrigo, a rain forest.
There's an idea, Peg! Buy the Fillmore General Store back and turn it into a museum!!
