Off to Scrub Stitchin' - Day 4 - Trangie to Tooraweenah

Leaving Trangie it was a short drive day with four hours to fill in between check-out time and the earliest check-in time, so no rushing today...and it was a beautiful weather day perfect for a wander...on the way out of Trangie in a park I spied a mural on the toilet block and etched designs on the bins...
On to Gilgandra, and after filling up the fuel tank, I went into The Coo-ee Heritage Centre (the Tourist Information Centre)...Chooky had given the heads up that one of her neighbours had her artwork hanging and I had plenty of time to spare so a bit of a wander was in order...besides the local artwork exhibition there are two other galleries, one with a display about the World War 1 Coo-ee March and one with local history museum pieces...and in those exhibitions I managed to find...embroidery and quilting!...
there was also  an exhibition in the grounds a mural on the back of the stage wall and a number of mural boards set around the lawn with various themes...
Still time to fill in, so back on the road to Gulargambone to check out the street art...bullock sculpture which is pretty cool...the galah sculptures on poles are scattered throughout the town and the district...
murals on buildings...a number by Lightning Ridge artist John Murray (the quirky ones)...
had to take a picture of this one...after all...sewing!...
The shops may be empty but the windows were not...art installations of the non-paint variety... 
After walking about the main street looking at the art, and popping into the Post office to get a job done, it was time to find the painted water tower...the colours are so muted and calm...
It was late enough now to check-in so...on to Tooraweenah...
 
Happy Stitching...
