Clint Horsey's conversations

j'habite à 300 mètres...je passe tous les jours devant pour aller travailler..

Hi

It was taken from the north shore by a little picnic area we found on the way back from Newcastle. We came off the Pacific Highway and drove through Lake haven before driving along the shore at Tuggerahwong, so it was somewhere along there.

It certainly is a great landmark around here, and very photogenic.

This row of house has designs from the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries and is one of Southam's oldest streets. Our house is the 3 storey town house in the centre of the picture and built in 1871, making in one of the newer buildings on the street.

Wentworth Falls is one of the small towns and villages that make up the City of the Blue Mountains. A walk arounf the lake takes about 40 mins and there is a barbeque site off Sinclair Drive with free electric barbeques

There are many waterfalls in the Blue Mountains, many being tourist attractions. Mini Ha Ha Falls are a bit off the beaten track, and the track itself is not always accessible, especially after rain. Parts of the decent are not for the faint-hearted but the reward is a picturesque and tranquil setting.

The Tower at Edge Hill, now a public house and containing some memorabilia from the famous Civil War battle.

Monk's cells at Guy's Cliffe. Animals would have been kept in the lower enclosures and the monk's lived above them, using the heat from the animals for basic warmth.

Guy's Cliffe has a long and colourful history. A house and the mill are mentioned in Domesday Book, but the mill had reputedly been functioning for two hundred years before this census. Thus inhabited since Saxon times, the most famous legend of the site is that of Guy of Warwick. This Saxon noble, the legendary founder of Warwick Castle in the 10th Century, and killer of the Dun Cow, returned from his travels and adventures and, as Dugdale says, shunning the "deceitful pleasures of this world", retired to live out the rest of his days in a cave by the river, which still survives by the Chapel. His wife, the lady Felice of Warwick, remained ignorant of his unannounced presence so close. Just before Guy died, he revealed his true identity to the poor lady who, overcome by grief, threw herself from the cliff where her husband had lived for so many years. It is said that her ghost, distraught with grief, still haunts the site. A hermitage was founded on the site of Guy's last days, and monks inhabited the cave dwellings until the fifteenth century.
