Scrub Stitchin’ - Part 4 - The Boys

This year, there were several hubbies tagging along to Scrub Stitchin’, both international and Aussie.  Most had not visited the area previously, so Mick took on the role of unofficial tour guide.  Let’s face it, the girls wanted them out of the way while they stitched.

Mick borrowed Chooky’s seven seater and they firstly headed off to the Sculptures in the Scrub at Dandry Gorge.
This was followed by the Salt Cave and fire tower.
After that rather full morning, they all had quite an appetite for a late lunch of burgers at the local cafe. 
The following day, they headed out again, this time to the Sandstone Caves.
After lunch at a pub in Coonabarabran, they visited the Siding Springs Observatory.
Finishing the day with a Chinese meal and meat raffles with the locals at the Bowling Club.  The place to be on a Friday night in Baradine.
On Saturday things were quieter, with Mick and Tony having a game of bowls at the Bowling Club, and having a play with Mick’s new drone back at the camp ground.
Finally, a camp oven corned silverside was prepared for a few.

I honestly think the boys had just as much fun as the girls.  I know Mick was worn out after such full days.

It's good to see what the boys got up to, I know Tony thoroughly enjoyed himself and is very appreciative for all that Mick did.

It's great that the "boys" enjoyed themselves too, sightseeing, pub visits, eating out. What a great bunch!

I understood the men were having a great time sightseeing - and it seems I wasn't wrong. Good that they weren't all just sitting around waiting for their wives to finish sewing!!! I think those are some of the things that Sue and I will do next year before SS starts.

I didn’t see this post. The guys were kept busy thanks to mick. He was a great tour guide. There were so many good things that they did. I’m sure they will have great memories.
