Albury and Holbrook Land Care Company


We took a long ride down to Albury and stopped at a sheep-shearing town along the way. We stopped at a travelers spot called "Dog on The Tuckerbox". This place has a famous poem written about a Sheep-shearing farmer's escapades, and how his dog ended up on his Tuckerbox (lunch box). We traveled to Albury via a bus most of the day and had an evening dinner and reception with a state Senator, and the Mayor and Mayoress of Albury. Our hotel is located in the middle of this beautiful vintage town, located near a botanical gardens. We spent Sunday morning at a sheep farm with a bird banding demonstration by the Holbrook Land Care Management Company. They have a tree replanting scheme and keep track and protect the birds and wildlife. It is winter here so the weather is a cool and mild 54 degrees. Very comfortable! Please feel free to blog me back with comments or questions! G'Day!
