Hey Terry, Was is the road like between Lockart & Deniliquin like, there is a group of us travelling from Wagga to Swan Hill (overnight spot)
Average country road the last time I travelled on it, but that was some time back. The map route is fairly clear as to where to turn leaving Lockhart to get to Urana and Urana to Jerilderie and then you have the choice of either going via Conargo and see if they have rebuilt the old pub, or Finley, both the same distance but time depends on which way the wind is blowing at the time according to the locals :lol: Via Conargo you go past the Deni ute muster grounds entrance not long before you hit Deni itself .... a real eye opener to see just how big the site is and gives you an idea of just how big the crowd is that turns up to each event .... Denni would have dried up and blown away if it wasn't for the $$ it brings into the town each yr. There is the usual tourist spot in Jerilderie where Ned Kelly robbed the post office, when you see the size of it you have to wonder why he bothered
but there is also the big windmill that keeps the ski lake full, but not much else left of what was a major town, they gradually fad away because the population around them simply moves away ..... Some have tried to reinvent themselves in an attempt to catch the tourist trade, not all are good at it though ......
