Loved the rows of garbage bins and letterboxes.

Melanie bought these desserts for Father's Day from Sabors at Lovedale. They were delicious but rich.

Millfield

Millfield is an interesting town with so much history. I went for a walk today and passed the Rising Sun Inn that is now a museum. Unfortunately it wasn't open. I love the Wisteria hanging from the fence of the Inn.

Millfield




I went for a drive into the hills and this is what I saw from different vantage points. I drove through Millfield and turned left when I went over the bridge. I drove past the cemetery and into the hills. I could see as far as Ellalong and Millfield. The road is gravel but an easy ride. There were signs saying to look out for logging trucks.

Kitchener Poppet Head in Heritage Park




I have wanted to see this structure up close for a long time. I often drive past it. I went to the Heritage Park in Kitchener today and took all these photos. It is an amazing structure. There is a 1.2km walk around the lake at the park which I will do when I have somebody with me as it is in bushland.
Poppet heads sit over mine shafts and are used to winch ore such as coal buckets from below.
I love the rustic look.]

Kitchener is a small town in the City of Cessnock. It is located 5 kilometres south of the town of Cessnock.
