On our recent trip to Sydney to visit family, we stopped briefly at the Dog on the Tuckerbox memorial near Gundagai in NSW. Nearby were the ruins of Joseph Carberry’s Inn.
This is right next door to the famous Dog on the Tuckerbox just a short distance from Gundagai.
You can read the detailed history of this place on the photo of the plaque below. (Hint: click on the photo to enlarge the image.)

Autumn leaves at the Dog on the Tuckerbox, Gundagai, NSW
This photo was taken on our trip to Sydney earlier this year. We stopped for a cuppa at the famous Dog on the Tuckerbox memorial near Gundagai. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the beautiful autumn leaves against a clear blue sky. I’ll show more photos like this in the coming days.

Road trip: Murray Bridge to Narrandera
Narrandera, New South Wales
On the first day of our road trip to Sydney earlier this year we covered a lot of territory on the first day. We left home in Murray Bridge early in the morning , had morning tea at Lameroo, lunch at Ouyen and arrived in Narrandera in the dark for a late dinner. Along the way we didn’t stop much, only to change drivers or to grab a quick bite to eat.
As we drove I kept a lookout for birds, making short lists here and there, especially taking note of interesting birds. I’ve already written about some of these on my Trevor’s Birding site. Instead of repeating that here, I’ve made some links back to that site:
- Australasian Grebe at Lameroo
- There were no Galahs at Galah
- Some birds seen in Ouyen
- Ouyen to Narrandera
It was a very tiring day of driving and we were pleased to have arrived at our motel in Narrandera. Even though this was near the intersection of two very busy highways, the noise of trucks throughout the night couldn’t keep us awake.
Lameroo, South Australia
Lake Roberts, Lameroo, South Australia
On the first morning of our recent road trip to Sydney we left in good time in the morning. We stopped for a short break at Lake Roberts in Lameroo in the eastern district of South Australia. We had a cup of tea, a few biscuits and changed drivers.
This spot is a favourite picnic area for us and we have stopped here many times in the past. It is usually a good spot for birding but on this occasion I only recorded a few species, including the duck shown in the photo above. That is not an Australian native bird! Below is a distant shot of an Australasian Grebe out in the middle of the artificial lake.
