A little more about Mudgee from Wikipedia:
Mudgee /ˈmʌdʒi/ is a town in the Central West of New South Wales, Australia. It is in the broad fertile Cudgegong River valley 261 kilometres north-west of Sydney. Mudgee is at the centre of the Mid-Western Regional Council local government area. At the 2011 census, Mudgee had a population of 9,830 people.
The Mudgee district lies across the edge of the geological structure known as the Sydney Basin.
Mudgee has developed as a wine producing region and is therefore dependent on wine manufacturing as a major part of its economy. It is also heavily dependent on several major mines in the surrounding area.
Other rural produce includes cattle, sheep, wheat, alfalfa, olives, fruit, tomatoes, corn, honey, and dairy products. These, however, do not play as major a role as the mining industry.
The Ulan coal mines are in the district. During the 19th century, the area was a major goldmining area and the district also produces marble, pottery clays, shale and dolomite. These mines have further potential to expand in the region, however they are also the topic of local environmental concerns.
Tourism is also a growing industry based largely on the wineries.
A laboratory was established in 1987 to test meat for pesticide residues.
Local real estate, petrol and living costs skyrocketed since 2010 when the mining boom began to peak. This has rolled onto the local population, who have since had increased difficulty in living in the town.
Hope you learnt something new folks look forward to catching you next Friday with a new adventure!

Japanese Garden
One of the most peaceful and beautiful parks in Toowoomba.
Named Ju Raku En, which loosely translates to long life in a public garden, by its designer, Professor Kinsaku Nakane, it is the largest traditionally designed Japanese garden in Australia.
Its elements include a mountain stream and waterfall, azalea hill, dry garden and central lake which features three islands. It showcases some 230 species of Japanese and Australian Natives, 3 kilometres of paths and wide open spaces to rest and relax.
The design of the garden encompasses Buddhist legend -- the rock island at the centre of the garden represents Mt Sumeru which is the centre of the Buddhist Universe, and the remaining two islands are where the immortals dwell, the lake represents the celestial sea, the outer edges of the lake the material world, and the bridges offer the chance to make a symbolic journey to paradise!
Whether or not you believe in the legend, there is no doubt that the garden provides a wonderful piece of tranquillity where you can shelter from everyday life. It is popular with visitors and locals alike, whether for a casual stroll or a place to sit and contemplate.
