Taralga
Weekend Run 26th October
George Van Den Heuvel
Two groups of bikes headed separate ways to meet up
at Taralga for the over night stay.
The first group headed off with George to Lithgow
and the Small Arms Factory via the Bells Line road. Hours were spent
at the factory looking over the many interesting exhibits covering the
guns and other equipment the factory has produced over it's long
history. It is well worth the effort if you have never been before.
From Lithgow the group headed to Taralga via Torana and Oberon.
The second group
headed straight up the freeway, through Goulburn to Taralga. Once at
Taralga the day was spent wandering the streets checking out the local
sights.
The next morning
the group headed to Crookwell via the Golspie road to meet up with the
day run to the Crookwell swap meet. The 6 km stretch of dirt road was
challenging and very dusty. Just west of Taralga the group stopped off
at the Stone quarry Cemetery. This is a very interesting cemetery
which shows some of the history of early discovery in this area.
Thanks George for a great weekend.
