Highland Steam and Vintage Fair Oberon

Today we drove out to Oberon. a small town (village really) about 2.5 hours west of Sydney. I've flown over the place many times and had been there once before with Dave after we'd been camping near Kanangra Walls. It's a nice place - the trees in particular are spectacular in autumn (so we missed that).

They had a vintage steam festival on at the local footy grounds. Beautiful weather - nice to get the hell out of Sydney which has been suffering (along with me) with horrid humidity for the past month or so. I think we missed the majority of the exhibits as the main parade had been held the day before. There was still a bit there however. It was good to see some traction engines steaming around and we even saw a Series I Land Rover. The kids had fun though it was a long trip there and back. That's the price you pay for living in a country with not much in it outside of the capital cities (that can be a good and bad thing). I took a few photos just click on 2010 and you'll see them HERE.
