SMUT NARADHAN TOUR
Part 3
After months of organising and stress, the day had finally arrived that we were to set forth to Naradhan and into history. But actually boarding the train was no guarantee of our getting to this far flung terminushe fact the train was at the platform eased concerns a lot, but until we pulled into Naradhan yard there was no to be total relief.
Stunning weather, sunny but not hot, greeted as on arrival at the station.
Spirits were high, a chance meeting of a ol Coota North Box friend from two decades ago had been considered a good sign, and we quickly offloaded the drinks and snacks for the weekend and loaded the train.
Mel tries in vain to keep her hubby from getting over excited and jumping up and down in from of the other tour patrons.

Excited travelers hop out for photos at Temora station.
Storm clouds threatened as we arrived in Ungarie for lunch at the local Central Hotel.
Luckily rail held off for our walk to the hotel and back again, and it did provide a lovely backdrop.
