The Old Wellington to Dubbo Main Road Retold
A reminiscence tracks the Wellington to Dubbo route from Montefiores to Maryvale. It recalls the old main road via the fall, the punt, and early crossings, the shift to Ryan's road, and mail routes. Local inns, post offices, and notable figures such as Aarons, Sawwell, Payne, and Hughes appear, along with memories of flood delays and early back tracks as the region’s travel network evolved.
