Nephew's Wedding.

-
We left Mary Kathleen township and headed down to the border going into NSW at the same time the QLD Government lifted restrictions with NSW.

It was a very heated journey as we followed the heatwave into NSW where we saw on the truck outside temps between 46 - 48°C.

The plan was to go to Carcoar Dam and setup camp. Gay-Maree would go to the Lithgow train station and take the train to Sydney Central and stay about 4 days while I stayed at camp with Jools our pet Maltese who is our baby and suffers from separation anxiety. Jools would be too disruptive at the wedding.  

Jools in daddy's chair, very cheeky isn't he??

Carcoar Dam is a lovely place to camp, not that busy for this time of year.

I drove Gay-Maree to the train station and off she went to Sydney. Her Nephew Andrew collected Gay-Maree as he was preparing to marry his lovely wife to be Emma.

Gay-Maree stayed 4 days in Sydney meeting Emma's parents and joining in the celebrations.

Some pics of the wedding day.

Well while at home I dressed some of the photos that Gay-Maree sent editing and putting wedding frames around the photos. 


Well I did have 4 days to fill in!!!

Now Andrew & Emma start their new life together as husband and wife.

Andrew and Emma on your special day you did it.

Carcoar Dam.

We stayed a few months at Carcoar Dam, many things happen we came down from our Nephew Andrew's Wedding, then got caught up in Covid19 pandemic state borders closing at the same time as Gay-Maree father passed away, couldn't get over the border, then about another 2 weeks later they open the state borders, Gay-Maree mother took sick, Gay-Maree caught a flight to Coolingatta airport 3hours before the state borders closed again for a 3days lockdown of Brisbane and surrounding areas. Know Brisbane a hotspot area there was a worry Gay-Maree might not get back to me without a 14 day quarantine period, but luckily they eased everything for Easter, Gay-Maree got back without issues. Over the time here many high wind events rain events, chilling cold events in summer and autumn. In April nights down to -1.0°C daytime 11°C very cold. So we had a great position of the Carcoar Dam from the door of our camper trailer many morning viewing, and sunset viewing.  Boats on the water most weeken

Uranium Mine - Mary Kathleen.

Still camping at the old Mary Kathleen Townsite, my friend Graeme wanted to checkout the old Uranium Mine he has already been there before, but he decided to re check the old site out and invited me and jools along. It is only 7klms down the road which is bitumen so far with lots of deep potholes, and gravel road to the entrance. On entry you can see old concrete areas where boom gates for security would have been.  There is lots of concrete kerbing you can see, where old buildings once stood. Driving around there is plenty of evidence of dump areas were big rocks being dump when the mine was operating.  We found huge concrete stands where the rock  crushers would have stood. Early pictures from a billboard  in the township area demonstrates what it is like. The mine and mining  equipment  that was used, in the days of mining operations.  Many tracks and the one that leads to the Uranium Mine. Driving up to the mine site. The water is so blue from copper oxide and maybe it is also a ra
