Railway line to nowhere at Chillagoe Smelter. Chillagoe is one town of many where mining failed to live up to expected returns.
There's heaps to see in Chillagoe! Marble is all around the place, literally. A beautiful waterway with a weir and groves of majestic paperbark trees growing on its banks...
A wonderful day and very hot. We filled up our fuel tanks then sat and had a chocolate coated ice cream and made our way to Irvinebank. Lots of little towns on the way, which we didn't stop to investigate as time was limited.
Found a great spot to free camp (on the Town Common and with free HOT shower) opposite the pub at Irvinebank.
Had dinner at the pub, and early to bed.
