Let's Visit Bonalbo, NSW with Moz #moz42 #bonalbo #workingdogtrial
Bonalbo
Bonalbo and Old Bonalbo are two small rural towns on the NSW Northern Tablelands, located 815 kilometres (506 mi) north-east of Sydney. Their appeal lies in their unspoilt bushland surroundings in the Upper Clarence River Valley.
Bonalbo is a very pretty little town, being is a service centre for the surrounding beef cattle, hardwood timber, soybean and olive growers and farmers.
The village has a hospital, ambulance station, chemist, supermarket, a Newsagency & service station, a pub with motel rooms, a bowling and recreation club featuring a challenging nine-hole golf course and tennis courts.
The town's name derives from the Gidabal word bunawalbu meaning bloodwood trees.
The district is an ideal spot for fishing, swimming, canoeing, birdwatching, camping and boasts some challenging roads for the motorcycle enthusiast.
Bonalbo is the birthplace of working dog trials, using cattle, at the 1950 Bonalbo Show. It also pays tribute to the role played by working dogs in rural life - both as workers and mates. The statue stands in the RSL Memorial rose park in the centre of the village.
A bronze statue of a working dog was unveiled in April 2017. This statue was funded by community contributions and donations from business and government.
The Old Bank B n B
To the best of my knowledge, the bank was built and opened in 1932 as the Bank of NSW, the ownership changed several times over the years and subsequently closed in 1987. Prior to the establishment of a bank, a Gold Exchange existed servicing miners in the area.
There had been other banks in the town which were lost in 1957 when fire consumed several businesses in town.
Today, extensive renovation has been undertaken to establish the Old Bank as a Bed and Breakfast accommodation.
The Black Stump
The Australian expression 'black stump' is the name for an imaginary point beyond which the country is considered remote, an abstract marker of the limits of established settlement. The origin of the expression, especially in its evolved use as an imaginary marker in the landscape, is contested.
At least three regional Australian towns claim the expression originated in their general vicinity. These include: Coolah NSW, Merriwagga / Gunbar NSW and Blackall, QLD.

Looking around Blackall
Blackall is a small town in central west Queensland that takes us back in time. It was here that Jack Howe set a record for shearing 321 sheep with blade sheers in 7 hrs 40 mins. The old woolscour has been refurbished and is the only working steam powered woolscour in Australia. Its an interesting place to visit and stop-over for a couple of days.
