Our "Hopewood Children Family" still call ourselves children even though we are all over sixty and are now having a bus trip every two years, this year was to Griffith places of interest and surrounding districts, Hillston, Lake Cargelligo, Temora and Cootamundra. It was a great trip, cold but not too cold, there were seventeen of us, of course the girls love to catch up with chit chat and the boys are not too bad at it either, but we all had lots of laughs. It was nice to go out to the country and see it all after the floods, it was looking really good, there was a small area still in flood but everywhere else looked green. We loved the architecture of some of the towns which were beautiful, they manage to keep their history better than the cities. Michael managed to hire the local Community Bus from Bowral which is where we started out trip. Four of us girls managed to get to Bowral by bus and train and stay overnight at one of our brothers place for the night, thankyou Peter.

I just love Silos, as children we were allowed to play in them on the farm at Bowral where I spent my first six years of life, they were full of corn.
One of the many historic buildings in the country.
We went to a Museum in Griffith, it was the best little village re-enactment that I have seen over the years. Here are some of the pictures I took.
Some of us taking a ride on the little car like the Wiggles. Below the Italian section, very interesting.
Ah! Memories.
Oh! What memories the "Outdoor Dunny"
