    Sir Donald Bradman's Birthplace

    October 28, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Got ourselves moving this morning to head to the Junee chocolate and licorice factory. Pup was a very cranky boy, he did not want to get out of bed, that is him most mornings though. The factory wasn't far and we took turns to be with Pup in the beautiful surrounding gardens and cafe area, while the other went in to have a shop and look around. We grabbed a few bits and pieces and got back on the road. On the way to grab fuel, Ben noticed a Ray Warren statue (A famous NRL commentator), so he ran over to grab a quick photo. On our way out of town, a p plater in a ute decided to pull out in front of us and somehow we didn't t bone him. Thank God for decent trailer brakes. Idiot. We had to stop at Cootamundra, the birthplace of Sir Donald Bradman. First stop was at a park that popped up on the map which had a 'Captains walk'. It was a loop of statues of all of the Australian cricket team Captains, pretty neat. Just around the corner and we found the house Bradman was born in. There was a sign out the front saying $5 to walk through the house and look at the memorabilia inside. I do enjoy cricket, but still not feeling 100%, so Pup and I chilled in the aircon in the car while Ben headed in. He said it was well worth it.Read more
