A Little Country Town

We were lucky in our travels last year. We managed to avoid most big cities, but visited a number of quite pleasant small (in fact Chi-Chi) towns and villages. Candelo is one of those.

Situated on a crossroads and bridge in the hinterland of the NSW south coast, it developed as a hub servicing local dairy farms and small timber getting concerns. Evidence of its history have survived the influx of semi-retired rock and rollers and gurus, and it's starting to polish itself up again - I can remember when it was shabby in the late 1970s, and you wondered if it would survive much longer.

Susan went to tai chi with Rick and Helen, and I meandered around taking photos. Sorry for the blurriness in some - the lens of my camera must have been unclean.

Candelo main street.

Every town has one: the Rural Fire Service (bushfire brigade)

The Post Office opens more frequently than ours

Every town needs a service station and hardware shop

We went to Candelo in 2017, as well.
