More of Wagga Region Tour 1990s

Charlie, our amazing aboriginal, guide took us to this fascinating area.
I believe it was an area called Coolamon but still in the Wagga region.
Once this was a lake.
But this day there were pockets of water on what looked like a huge plain.
The little pegs in the ground behind the student mark middens.
We found many odd artefacts but we were warned not to handle them and to be careful where we walked.

The Carrington in the 1990's

The Carrington in Katoomba, New South Wales opened in 1883 as The Great Western.
It was renamed in 1886 as The Carrington after the Governor of NSW, Lord Carrington.

Until the 1960's, it was a premier tourist resort in the Blue Mountains.
By the 1970's, the Blue Mountains became less popular as a holiday destination
and The Carrington closed in 1985.

After 8 years of restoration, it re-opened in December 1998.

These photos represent The Carrington in those waiting years.
