Today at 1:00 Ian and my Aunt Georgie arrived carrying arm-loads of food - a complete dinner, dessert and wine. The dinner just needed to be popped in the oven, so with Auntie visiting with Mom and nothing to be prepared Ian and I went for a drive to Cumberland to visit the heritage sites of China Town and Japanese Town - villages that once housed the Asian coal miners back in the 1920's. Nothing remains of what was once a thriving village of 3000. Some commemorative plaques and coal slag hills. A sad legacy.
The old village sites are linked to some wonderfully diverse trails - Let the pictures speak for themselves.
Back at home we enjoyed a fantastic dinner, lively conversation and lots of laughs.
I am so grateful to friends and family for their support.
