With the long list of places, parks and attractions I am also going to add a few pictures, not many, though!
Aboriginal Bora Ring
The bora ring is a sacred ceremonial ground where Aboriginals perform initiation rites.
Such a place is located at Tucki Cemetary, on the Lismore-Woodburn Road.
Artesian Bore Baths
These famous baths are located at the corner of Gosport and Anne Streets in Moree.
The Artesian water is said to have 'healing powers', making the best of those suffering from
nervous, rheumatic and arthritic complaints. There are two treatment pools and an Olympic swimming pool.
Bega
Bega is the most important centre on the far south coast. It is the gateway to the resort area, known as
'Sapphire Coast' - from Tathra to Eden. The Bega flows close to the town, the nearby lakes offering grand fishing and
shooting grounds, but thats kind of cruel I'd think:(
Bermagui
Located 'bout 400Km south of Sydney, it is the headquarters of the south coast
big frames fishermen and is the mecca of anglers. THe cheif industries include agriculture,
dairying, timber cutting, fishing and oyster culture.
Billabong Craft Centre
Now, we've all heard of Billabong gear before! It is situated at Culcairn, between Wagga Wagga and Albury, it is a highly
rated craft centre with an extensive range of hand-made articles for sale. Also the site of the Tourist Information Centre.
Blowering Lake and Dam
This dam can be reached by travelling 10Km south of Tumut on the Snowy
Mountains Highway, then 6Km West along signposted road. Acess to the lake is 20Km south
of Tumut on the Snowy Mountain Hghway'. Lake Blowering contains the second largest body of water
in the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Power scheme and the reservoir is a source of irrigation
water for the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.
Blue Mountains
Referring to the picture. The Blue Mnts derived their name from their vivid blue appearance, due to haze, when seen from a distance.
Located 60Km W of Sydney and encompasses 24 townships which straddle the Great Western Hghway'.
It offers some scenic bush walking trails including the Grand Canyon:)) and Rodriguez Pass at Blackheath; National
Pass at Wentworth Falls (thats the front page pic) and Minnehaha Falls, Prince Henry Cliff and Federal Pass at Katoomba. Among the mountains
are numerous vantage points which give spectacular panoramic views of broad valleys hemmed in by perpendicular cliffs.
Towering sentinels of sandstone rise steeply from the valley floors.
Other attractions include the Scenic Railway, decending 225M into the Jamieson Valley; the Scenic Skyway, travelling 450M on an aerial cable and
offering glorious views of Katoomba Falls and Jamieson Valley! Also, the Skyway restaurant, located at Scenic Railway and the Skyway terminal.
Bowral
Bowral is host to a annual Tulip Festival:)
Brewarrina Aboriginal Fisheries
The Aboriginal Fisheries are located in the bed of the Darling River below the weir, and consists of low, stone-walled fish traps. This is the only
one of many Aboriginal sites in the area.
Broken Bay
Located on the Northen edge of Sydney, Broken Bay is one of the few areas in the world outside Scandinavia which has fiords, with many magnificent watercourses
carving their way through the landscape to join the Hawkesbury River.
The surrounding landscapes consist of many national parks, containing caves, with Aboriginal engravings and paintings, spectacular wildflower displays in spring, picnic
areas and walking tracks whre native flora and fauna can be seen in their natural habitat.
Brown Mountain
This mountain is located west of Bega and gives majestic views from its summit. Access to the mountain via a winding road to its foot, then an 11Km climb to an altitude of
1122M.
Bullens' Animal World
Situated at Wallacia west of Sydney, this 80H private amusement park and zoo attracts many visitors each year.
There are over 6Kms of road which wind their way past villages representing many countries. Among the fauna are camels, water buffalo,
deer, donkeys and elephants.
Burning Mountain
This unusual phenomenon is located 19Km N of Scone at Wingen. It is a coal seam which has smouldered for over 1000yrs,
giving the earth the appearance that it is on fire. It is the only phenomenon of its type in Australia and the world. (So I guess that means the only 'where' you're going to see
one is right here and no where else) If I can locate a photo, check back and I'm sure I can!
Byron Bay
Located on Cape Byron, which was a former whaling station - boo that! Although this coastal township retains many relics of its former days, today it is
best known as a holiday resort, it is probably one of the most promoted places in Au.
