20180420 VIC Hawkesdale to MacArthur
20180420 Camping at Hawkesdale, a small country town of about 200 people, it has a supply store, Hotel and Post office which are owned and run by the locals and a free camp area with fire pits. I intended in having an early night until the backpackers started turning up late and slamming car doors, not happy Jan.😠
21-04-2018 After breaky we left for another country town, Macarthur and once again, there's nothing here, as Des would say until you actually walk the town and find the history plaques scatted about telling stores of what once made up these little forgotten towns, well I find the interesting.
Arriving at our camp and we couldn't beleave our eyes we just pulled into another Blazeaid camp, we parked up, grabbed a beer and went for a chat.
The Post Office come General store in Hawkesdale.

Fire night tonight so that means Grandma's getting wacky, 😋
I walked the farm and came across some hungry and very friendly pigs, isn't she cute.
Me trying to be creative, well at least it's not another church or old building.
The old wooden cattle yard makes a great backdrop for a photo shoot.
The Farmer and his wife Scott and Narelle were also effected by the fires that went through MacArthur and are over whelmed by the support from Blazeaid and the surrounding community
The farm dog of the land and this is the face of a Mum of 10 pups.
The MacArthur Wind Farm is the largest wind farm in the southern hemisphere and consists of 140 turbines with a capacity of 420 megawatts and I was told the farmer who's property they are on gets ten thousand a year for each turbines, there's a bit of trivia for you.
I'll Give you one Guess

22-04-2018 I woke with a very clear head 😟so we decided to walk to town and check out nothing to see, ha, ha, but I did find many history plaques to take my interest as Des kept on walking.
Funny how Des can read something like this and find it interesting, but at $88 for a replacement it would make you look twice.
23-04-2018 As we we're leaving today but not before I take a short drive with Barry from Blazeaid to get some photos of the Blazeaider's at work.
Once at the farm I had the added bonus of watching them crutching sheep, how cool was that.
