WYNYARD - POPULATION: 4812

THURSDAY 9 - SATURDAY 11.2.2012: Stopped for lunch at Waratah (Population 227), and to view the waterfall.  Waratah was constructed to support a tin mine at Mount Bischoff. The town is built at the top of a waterfall, and water was diverted from the stream to provide water for mine sluicing and processing. Onward to Wynyard where we spent one night at the Wynyard Showground and then found yet another paradise - Oldina Picnic Area. The vista, camp fire and barbecue - enjoying the sound of the "babbling brook" and the "crackling fire" - perfect! We have planned a return visit.    
  
 
JUST LOVE THE GREAT OUTDOORS - NOT!
