Wildlife

Butcher birds: 2

Kangaroos: several

Cows: several

Sitting on our little verandah admiring the lush grass and vegetation arrayed before us, it's hard to appreciate the hardships these people have suffered in recent years. Just a couple of years ago the rains failed, bush fires brushed close by igniting the tinder dry parched bush but thankfully missing the property due to the prevailing winds, but ultimately resulting in severe shortage of water. With barely enough water stored for the two of them, our landlords needed to make sacrifices to survive, so sadly the cattle were sent to market. Since then circumstances have changed dramatically with the rains coming in February 2022 and not stopping until August the same year, leaving the site a quagmire and inaccessible by motor vehicle. The tranquility and beauty of the place today makes this recent history hard to believe but surely must be a wake up call for what is happening to the climate.

As we sat admiring all this tranquility a chestnut brown cow came up to the barbed wire fence, gave us an endearing look then partook of a very respectable long wee. Then satisfied strolled off no doubt to find someone else to impress. Also domiciled in this field is an enormous black bull owned by one of the villagers for general use in local herds. Apparently he has completed his recent tasks for future generations and now is strutting around his girls looking just a little bored but with a discernable smug look on his face.

The town centre is just 15 mins walk down the road so we strode off to take a look accompanied by a fuzz of interested flies. On inspection, I must say that the town of Woodenbong is more charming than I imagined. This is just the sort of small Australian town we like best. It has a pre-school, kindergarten to year 12 school, 3 assorted churches, small hotel, hardware store, food store, post office, garage and café. Whilst it all looks like something out of Heartbeat but not quite as modern, it was all very nice with its wide boulevards and friendly townsfolk. Outside the council offices was a plan for the town's beautification apparently some money had become available. We didn't like to ask whether it had happened yet or not. We ordered 2 flat whites in the café which in due time (quite a long time actually) were delivered by one of the Aboriginal waitresses. Top marks for quality and value for money. It is highly likely that we shall call in there for breakfast tomorrow morning. We are staying at a place that describes itself as a B&B. So far no trouble finding the bed, just not accounted for the breakfast yet. There is regrettably some disagreement about the origin of the name Woodenbong. One says it was named after the Githabul word Widgenbong meaning wood ducks on water. Others prefer the word Ngudumbunya which means place of trees. Well I suppose it's always nice to have choice. Having supported the local economy to the tune of two coffees we returned to base with our flies for lunch.

This afternoon's program was somewhat interrupted by events beyond our control. The plan was to fire up the powerful Nissan and drive out to see the Tooloom Falls via a small village Urbenville. Sadly on arrival at the entrance to the Falls we discovered it closed due to concerns raised by the Githabul Aborigine Community regarding works to clear fallen trees following recent bad weather and the planning for future development and uses of the area. So that was a shame but nothing could be done. So we pushed on to find a lookout tower to view the Tooloom National Park. To approach this we found ourselves driving along unsealed roads; a tactic not only frowned upon by Mr Avis, but positively outlawed. Well don't tell anyone and everything will be fine. However, the road to the lookout was a very very rough track, one that Mr Avis would more than disapprove of and enjoy sleepless nights. So we went back into Urbenville for an ice-cream. Urbenville was a lovely township named after William Urben the first white child born at the Tooloom gold diggings. It developed at the time of the gold rush in 1858 and although this was largely spent by the late 1870s the township continue to enjoy some success with its timber and dairy industries. It is sad to see the High Street as it is now, but with a school, shop, garage and pub perhaps it might carry on. We noticed they even carted the Senior Folk in a little bus to Woodenbong for the afternoon. I just hope they took them back again.

Now it's evening and we are preparing to move in again in the morning. We will cross the state line into Queensland on route to a small place called Cranley.

A delight to be able to drive down to one of my favourite places after work (just 14km away) and be amazed at Tooloom Falls, just outside of Urbenville, NSW, Australia.

#TravelTuesday "If you make to Urbenville or Woodenbong, you're well and truly in the "woop woops" of the Wollumbin Volcano! This is not to say you've strayed "beyond the black stump", although you'll see a few of these around as a result of the timber getting of earlier times. Dairying and cattle raising, some timber milling, and a farm tourism presence are the mainstays, with the Scenic Rim food bowl providing an abundance of fruit, vegetables and gourmet products like olives and cheese, and a now well established boutique winery trail also a popular attraction." #visitbigvolcano #upperclarence #regionalnsw #farnorthcoast #northernrivers #visitnsw #Repost @urbanbackstreets • • • • • • The classic Lynda's Pitstop Cafe, down a sidestreet in Woodenbong - real hippie country in Northern NSW.
