A cold rainy day today so we headed inland to do a bit of exploring. After the girls being carsick due to the windy roads we stopped at Goongerah campgrounds for toasted sandwiches cooked on the Trangia.
Off to see the Delegate River tunnel i have wanted to see this for quite some time but have always run out of time in our travels. Its an 80m hand cut tunnel which was dug by hand in 1889 to divert the river so gold prospecting could take place on the bend of the river.
A stop for a cuppa at Wilson's Hut, which was built in 1916 and is generally in good condition but has had a few repairs that are less than authentic.
We couldnt find Victoria Star Historic Mine nor Jungle King Mine after searching for sometime so we headed into Boonang which is marked in all the maps as selling food and fuel this is incorrect as the new General Store is closed and up for sale and the old store is also closed.
