An outing with Josephine and Kim

We went and picked up Josephine and Kim in Dubbo.   They are 2 of our inactive sister that we have befriended.   Josephine, knowing that we love to go see old cemeteries,  told us of a cemetery way out and probably forgotten about.    She guided us on how to get to the Old Dubbo Pioneer Cemetery


Here is Kim standing by a really tall headstone.


Josephine, Kim, Sister Tietjen
Josephine wanted us to get our picture in front of this big interesting tree.


After taking pictures of all the headstones in the cemetery they took us to see the Japanese Gardens.

We almost got swollowed up by a giant Australian Barking Gecko

I could not believe how smooth it was carved out of such a huge stone.

Sure hope these stepping stones don't sink

Wouldn't want one of those giant gold fish to swollow us up. 

It was such a lovely place.   Wish my back yard looked like this.


We ended our tour with visiting the Automated toilet.    By the wave of your hand you can get your TP,  water to wash your hands, towels to dry them etc.  And the whole time you are in there, it talks to you and plays music.    Josephine said they should have one up at Lightning Ridge.  They will think something from  outerspace  has landed.   No I haven't seen automated things around here.   Remember they are about 30 yrs behind times.  So everyone tells us.   This is a real novelty.

Josephine then took us to go see the Minore Falls where her son likes to go camping.   She has never been there and was sure that if there was a FALLS, it would be a little trikle running to a small pond.
So we went to find this here Falls.
Wow, what are getting ourselves into.   We are really out in the outback.


And downunder- Look how tall those plants are at the side of the road.
The road came to an end and we had to get out and walk.



Behold the fountain of filthy waters.
We did not even see a trikle of a Falls.
All the rivers are muddy like this.
We really had a good time with these 2 sisters.
