- Tuesday 24/05/2011:
Farewelled Barcoldine and travelled 79klms west across very flat countryside to Ilfracombe - an extremely interesting quaint town. Wandering around the town a must featuring: - The great machinery mile display features horse-drawn vehicles, steam engines, harvesters and earth moving machinery.
- The folk museum showcases the role of women and children in Outback life in the early years.
- The Jackson collections of gun displays and unique bottles. ***I noted there were no NSW Aerated Waters bottles - which were started by my Great Grandfather in Newcastle in the early 1900's.
- Romani Hall is dedicated to preserving the story of the Light Horse Troops.
- Oakhampton Cottage was relocated from a nearby property. It is significient as a typical outback structure and offers a glimpse into an early Outback household.
