Hello Everyone
Today my mom and I went to a small, small village called Nebo.
A European named Ludwig Leichhardt first travelled through the area in 1845. By 1865 gold had been discovered and within months there was a thriving town with a population of approximately 1500 people. The town however, was then called Fort Cooper and only changed to Nebo in 1923.
Gold mining is still operational, but the town remains very small. The Nebo Hotel still stands, but has been maintained over the last century and therefore still open to the public.
We had a pleasant and very informative walk about the place. Our walk included their museum, a short stretch of the boardwalk (which is actually the longest route of its kind in the world), their cemetry and the town.
As yet, I cannot put any pics on our site, but for more information on the place you can log onto:
Next week, I will hopefully be able to tell you about our day trip to the Great Barrier Reef.
Till then,
Lauren
