Aussie Road Trip - Part 4 - Exploring

The whole family went out quite early in the morning to explore Bingara.

The weather was absolutely perfect, sunny and with a clear blue sky 

- no clouds anywhere!

Soldiers Memorial Hall

Shops and businesses 

Beautiful garden

Love the wispy grass - and the old fence

First we headed to Bingara's IGA store,

previously Fay's department store.

What a historic place!

Look at the ceiling!

Talk about a local convenient store!

White goods, furniture, groceries and a liquor store
- all in one place.
Not bad for a small country town!

Jonah is checking out the range of merchandise.

Love the old signs

The sign at the entrance was spectacular - a beautiful stain glass window.

A beautiful and very colourful garden in the middle of the road.

A feast for my eyes - and Lily's, as she loves pink☺

My FIL in front of the Bingara Bakehouse

The kiddies and I ...and my MIL in the background.

Marilyn Monroe statue in the window of Roxy, 

the newly restored and newly re-opened Art Deco Cinema from 1936.

Peter's  Café

So nice when interiors are kept and not replaced with modern ones.

We went window shopping...
A hat for Melbourne Cup Day?!

A local arts and craft shop

A rustic second-hand shop/antique shop

Lots of eye candy

Beautiful doors.

The blue one is my favourite☺

Mural by Balhannah

Checking out the ice cream bar.

Original booths and memorabilia on the wall.

Local hairdresser

Real estate

The Imperial Hotel/Motel

Previously Bingara's Court House

- nowadays, the town's library!

The oranges are only to be picked during  the Orange Festival Ceremony.

Next stop is Bingara Museum... ☺

See you there☺
