Leura - 2009



Making our way home from Katoomba on a wet and gloomy day we stopped off at Leura which is the next town along the highway. All the Blue Mountain towns are still very quaint in their presentation - some of the shops are like time has stood still. I enjoyed a walk through the shops and made the mistake of looking in the Alpaca Shop which had some beautiful clothing. Some eleven years ago, while in New Zealand, my son bought a jumper made from Alpaca wool and it is still in pristine condition today. That justified my purchase of a cardigan and vest - on special of course. It was a nice stop off and a coffee later we left refreshed to carry on through Wentworth Falls, Lawson, Hazelbrook, Woodford, Faulconbridge & Springwood - then it was back to reality & city traffic in the rain.
