We took a turn at Bathurst and headed to the New England Highway through
Sofala.

| . An old store, sadly in desperate need of repair. |
Sofala is an old gold mining town full of history and incredible old buildings. We have been there before and decided to have another look.
 |
| Surveying the main street. |
 |
| Still lived in. |
 |
| The old Post Office. Now a Gift store come Museum. |
 |
| Another couple of street views. |
 |
I love these wintery trees. There were quite a few around the town. I can imagine how magnificent they are in springtime and summer.Don't see them around our area.
There is a lot more to see around Sofala, but we were heading home and the day was getting on. We decided to push on and promised ourselves that next time we will take a day and travel round the river and the goldfields. Fascinating.

| An bush church on the way to Sofala..I couldn't resist a photo. Looks so sad and derelict.Maybe it comes alive on Sundays! |
