Before the others got up I went for a walk around the streets of Forbes. I did not see a single prad. We stayed in the old grandeur of the Albion Hotel. Though the rooms were spartan and cheap. On the first night we had managed to score two rooms, so I had one to myself, but owing to a miss-communication, which I put down to country town style organisation, we only had one room for the second evening.
Forbes was once the collection point for the gold from the district. So it has some very grand buildings. One friend pointed out that it is like Bendigo. I guess it is the local equivalent of Bendigo. Though buildings are nowhere near as grand they are still very impressive. It also has some more modern buildings.
Also, I went down by the Lachlan River. It is very pleasant down there in the early morning light.
We had dinner that night in Forbes at the Wan Wah Chinese Restaurant. Billy has quite a write up about it. I actually thought it was better than he did. It is good for Australia-Chinese country style food and I loved the decor.
