Another Sunday




Dot and I were on our way to do some shopping this morning when we passed by Dumaresq Creek in the middle of town and noticed three simultaneous but unconnected events under way. We ditched the shopping for a while to explore them in turn.

The first was a meeting of the Armidale historic car club at which members displayed their prize vehicles. My next post deals with this event in more detail. The second was the Million Paws fund-raising day for the RSPCA where dog owners come together for a 4 km pooch walk followed by a series of events such as the dog with fastest wagging tail, or the hairiest dog. The final one was the bi-monthly farmers market where people go to buy organic produce or sheep manure and taste local wines.

By some extraordinary coincidence, all three happenings took place simultaneously in a 50m square alongside the creek - nicely compact, and attracting quite large crowds, except for the farmers market in the middle. The pictures show all three.
