Where it all began

We stayed one more night at Casino but wanted to see some other places. We decided to drive west to Tenterfield which is birthplace of Australia. Here, in 1889 (24.10.1889) Sir Henry Parkes held the Federation Speech that led to the independence of the six British le colonies that now form Australia (Canberra being the 7th).

We had a nice break with a coffee in that very building where the speech was held. The School of Arts.
In this nice little town we also did a walking tour with a leaflet provided by the tourist office and found a small, privately run museum with all sorts of old pots, farm equipment and weapons.

I even got a 1$ coke from a really old looking fridge.

After some time searching for a place that would sell us food (the first place's kitchen burned down, the second was too fancy, the third didn't sell food at this time) we found a place that had burgers.

Back at the camp ground we enjoyed our last night in the "wild", as tomorrow we would be back in a hostel for 3 nights.
