THORA, NSW

WEATHER SIGNS
STEPHEN KING: 1996
WEDNESDAY 24.9.2014: Before leaving Walcha we ventured into the "town centre" to view the Open Air Gallery of sculptures and artworks. In 1996, Walcha Council was approached by Stephen King, a local farmer and sculptor, to collaborate with him to create a fountain sculpture for McHatton Park. This led to an ongoing public art program. Over 25 sculptures and public artwork have been established. 
SONG CYCLE
JAMES ROGERS: 2001
THE FAMILY

The reversing camera threw its' feet up in the air and died so we are making our way back to you guessed it - Watsons! Travelled the Waterfall Way and enjoyed the scenery. Decided on a pit stop at Ebor Hotel - an interesting lesson in the country publican approach to service! Bought a refreshment and scanned the room to determine the poker machine to be played - there was only one, so we chose I-T! Came in the door with $50, bought a bottle of wine, played our money and left with $50 - had aimed to donate funds to the area. Settled down for the evening at Roses Park, Thora 14km W of Bellingen.
