Arlington Court

After a wonderful nights sleep on the new site, we headed out for a few bits and then on towards Arlington Court.  We had heard that the Golden State Coach was still on show there and wanted to see it before it got moved on to the next place.

We arrived and grabbed a table in the shade, and had cooling drinks and some lunch, and then leaving the two men with the dogs, Sally-Ann and I set off to look around the house.

It had the most lovely feel about the place, and was bright and enticing inside, which is not always the case with NT places.  After a tour of all the rooms, we headed back to collect the men and wander the grounds.

They really are lovely, but the heat was becoming incredible at this point so any tree was our friend for a bit of shade.

We did the stables and all of the carriages, however my pictures did not want to work in there, and the only one that did had orbs on it….. ghosties joined us for that part of the day methinks! (see below)

Finally, we were all too tired and heat exhausted to walk any more, and so decided to return to the site.  I think another visit may be in order soon though.

When we got back, Paul pulled out the new camping BBQ and set up for our supper.

I think you will agree it looked great, and it tasted even better!
