Postcards from Canowindra

The beautiful spring weather inspired me to take a wander through town over the weekend and take a few snap-shots of local life for you. Spring is a busy time in the bush - wool is being sent to market and hay is being made while the sun shines. Farmers are worried about too much rain over the next few weeks which has the potential to ruin wheat crops, and locusts remain a threat. But spirits remain high since the drought broke - the local pool has re-opened for the summer season and orders are being placed at the local butcher for Christmas hams. Life is good in the country.

Finns Old Store in the main street - recently re-opened as a gift shop/cafe.
