Wilcannia Post Office which looks out of character for this outback town, but in reading the history, it was the largest inland port on the River Darling. The bridge over the river has elaborate engineering to be able to lift the bridge to allow the paddle steamers to travel the river to collect the wool clip.
Leaving Lithgow, I took a winding road across the Blue Mountains and found the Blue Mountains Botanical Garden. This was the spectacular view from the shop balcony.
Botanical Garden autumn colouring.
Happy Mothers' Day I thought when I saw the chrysanthemum display at the garden.
