BRAIDWOOD - POPULATION: 1,108

 
BRAIDWOOD'S MAIN STREET
MONDAY 21.11.2011: Spent the morning at Braidwood, a service town for the surrounding region which is based on sheep and cattle grazing and forestry operations. European explorers reached the district in 1822, with the town settled in the 1820's and surveyed in 1839. Saw some beautiful buildings - lovely atmosphere.

BRAIDWOOD COURTHOUSE 1901









Drove through Mogo, a quaint village with many restored buildings. Passed through Batemans Bay and Moruya - again another enjoyable drive. Pulled in at Bodalla Forest Park Freedom Camp - have to say that it would be close to our most scenic stopover so far - stunning.  It was as though we had taken up residence in the Botanic Gardens. A couple from Cherrybrook (NSW) came over and introduced themselves - had stayed next to us at Emerald (QLD) in September - remembered "Poodle Palace". They travel in "Miss B - Avan" - small world in "Grey Nomad" land!
