We have just spent the weekend in Mudgee, a little town about 3 hours drive from Glenbrook – over 200km. The above was the view from the house we shared with three other couples – local friends from home. The reason for this particular weekend was a sculpture exhibition at one of the Mudgee wineries.

It was very good, too, with several very impressive or amusing sculptures (or both, as you can possibly see).

Very good

The house we stayed in was very nice, and Mudgee has a lot to recommend it. Very prosperous in the times of a local gold-rush, it has a seriously impressive railway station, alas no longer in use.

.

Furthermore, it has an opera house !

For country NSW, this is quite something.
