    Monuments & Guards

    We went on a recent 4 day sojourn to monuments & monument guards as sadly time has marched on for the latter and they are very few and far between now.
    A friend planned out a trip visiting what we could find but along the way we discovered a couple of unknown ones which we pictured.

    We covered 2272.7 klms going up to Northampton on the inland road then down to Dumbleyung (Donald Campbell set the world water speed record here) which we visited.
    We also called into allot of these little towns in one spot it was like the ppl just up and left photo's books ephemera just left as it was in the day.

    So it will be a good journey for some and I'll try and remember the places but there were so many areas we went to,
    I have included the plaques to share how some of these isolated and very small communities answered the call to arms in the worlds conflicts.
    With the men gone women had to do the farming work with the deaths of so many this had a profound effect on these small towns, whose populations may of amounted to just a few families.

    This lots Brunswick Junction at the start sadly the 25 pounder pics did not appear but my wife got a few which I'll post later.
