May 13th, 2010. To-day we left Anna bay and travelled to Gloucester. The Bucketts Way hasn’t improved a lot, too narrow in places and used by a lot of Timber Jinkers. We are here for the Shakespearean Festival, so picked up our tickets for the “Feast and Show” from the Information Centre. After a nice lunch in Town, we drove around Town then up to Barrington Township. Lovely countryside, rolling hills nestled in amongst the mountains.
May 15th, After a quiet day yesterday we had a big day to-day. We went to the Fair/Markets at the Bert Gallagher Oval, a short walk from the Caravan Park. They had food, wine tasting, craft and the main entertainment was the “Jousting” Displays. We had fresh home made sausage rolls for lunch, very delicious. 5.30pm we were back for the Play and feast. The Hall was decorated in a medieval theme and the feast was excellent. The play was a modern slant on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, which was disappointing in as much as, the sound did not carry to the back of the hall, so we had a lot of difficulty in hearing the performers. They really need individual microphones for each of the players. A saving grace was the last 10 minutes of the play, it was extremely funny and had us all in tears from laughing.
May 16th, We went for a drive through the Barrington Tops, passing through the Village of Barrington and taking in the great views from the Kia-Ora Lookout and then on to Gloryvale Reserve, where the gentle sounds of the shallow rapids contributes to a relaxing atmosphere. A very enjoyable drive. To-morrow we are heading back to Newcastle, as Val is having more trouble with her teeth and we can’t continue our Travels until her problems are permanently fixed.
