After the long haul yesterday and fog all the way from Forbes we decided to take a short break in Jerilderie. We know Jerilderie and have stopped there many times over the years, for lunch and just to have a look around. The small town, famous for Ned Kelly exploits, has certainly improved over the years and is making good use of its tourist attractions.
Hans and I particularly like the lake. We walked all the way around it enjoying the spot of sunshine and the local bird life.
Lake Jerilderie is quite large and has a footpath all the way around. It is a dog leash-free area as well. I can just see Freddie, Mo and Lillie having the time of their lives racing around it especially with so many birds around.
We headed off around the lake. As you can see from Hans’s stance and what we are wearing it is still quite cold!
There were plenty of coots and ducks on the water, but I managed to photograph only these two!

In the middle of the lake are two islands with goats living on them.
The goats just visible on the island in the middle of the lake.
Billabong Creek runs beside the lake and is also very picturesque.
