Lighting Ridge day 2

Yellow car door explorer
We went to the Chambers of the Black Hand

Entrance into the 12 metre underground mine
Ron Canlin - sandstone sculpture he only does this as a hobby
Ron has been sculpting these sculptures for 16 years

Invisible man
Kids loved this one the best
Fantastic detail and painting


The kids had to find Where's Wally in all the sculptures we only found 14 but apparently there is 21
Ally way into even further into the mine
We went down into the lower ground mine where they search for opals, it started to get very stuffy and hot.
This church was used in the movie "Goddess of 67"

This is Stanley a 18 metre high emu made from scrap metal


We visited the 3 pubs in the scrub, which we intended on having lunch at one of them. The first pub was "The Garwin", but they don't do lunch on Monday's. 




So we drive to the next pub which was "Sheepyard" but they don't open Mondays either.



Beau had a real laugh at this sign outside pub

Last one we went to was "Glengarry Hilton". This is where we ended up eating lunch and all they had to offer was frozen pies, sausage rolls or pasties which they microwaved that was a experience.......



The road in and out of the 3 pubs in the scrub was very interesting, this was one of the signs

Lucky we had the right car for it!!!!

The bottle house in town 

Even the dog had a bottle house


The hot Artesian baths



They were so hot we can only manage to put our feet in
