Surat, Glenmorgan and Myall Park Botanic Gardens

29 June 2018 - Surat, Glenmorgan and Myall Park Botanic Gardens

This morning we were surrounded by very thick fog – this lasted until almost 11am when we suddenly popped out from underneath it.  Our first destination was south to Surat, to the Cobb and Co Changing Station.  This was the last stop of the last Cobb and Co coach run.  The local council has converted this into a fantastic historical display touching on most aspects of life, a combination of information boards and objects on display.  My favourites were the Cobb and Co store and the wool press.  

Heading East, we reached Glenmorgan.  We pottered around Monty’s Garage Vintage Car Museum.  This had an amazing collection of old cars, some of which have been restored; as well as all sorts of parts, original workshop and old-style petrol pumps.

Myall Park Botanic Garden was our picnic spot for lunch. We spent a couple of hours exploring the gardens which house a great variety of native plants. This is where the “Robyn Gordon” and “Sandra Gordon” grevilleas first appeared.  We were able to see the parent plant types as well as the original “Robyn Gordon” plant, from which all others have been propagated.

Then onwards north to Miles, and 20km beyond to Possum Park, where we are camped for the next two nights.
