Thence to Monument Hill, a war memorial which in 1975 gave a tremendous view of the whole of Albury. Alas, in the last 50 years Albury has grown much larger as have the eucalyptus trees on Monument Hill which now serve to block the panorama which lies below.
Next, we sallied forth to our intended destination, Cootamundra. However rather than taking the Hume Freeway, we charted a less direct route via what one might call the "back passage" to a small town called Burrumbuttock - located not very far from Urana!
Then to Walla Walla (so good they named it twice) for morning tea - a cappuccino and a huge Anzac biscuit.
Inspected the local art scene, including the impressive water tower "mural" and pre- Federation architecture...and the butcher's shop.
Most surprising of all was Mackie Bros' "Walla Walla Emporium" at which establishment the proprietors proudly boast that they are the "Universal Providers" of "everything"!!
Passed through Wagga Wagga (so good they named it twice) and, at length, arrived in "Coota" to stay at the Cootamundra Showgrounds Campground. Powered sites for $20 per night - a genuine bargain of the kind not even Mackie Bros' of Walla Walla could hope to match!

Can one have a nobscured panorama, or is there no panorama because it is obscured. There are calls for the sacking of the sub editor.
Similarly I would have wished to see a ‘non-photo’ of said ‘non-panorama’ to prove beyond reasonable doubt that it no longer can be seen
Apologies for the non-attributed comment’ - ‘non-ness’ appears quite catching even this far north.

"nobscured panorama" - doesn't make sense!
Dear Fife Taff, you are not the first to note that all comments appear to be made by "Anon". I cannot say why this is so it I only use Google, I don't own it!
A non-photo was provided! You must have missed it!
