Nowhere stranger than Nundle...
 
Now we all know I love Nundle. It's a unique place, and here's why...

Short of something to do in Oz at the beginning of May? Then look no further than the Great Nundle Dog Race.

Scary thing is that I know most of these people, and they will one day be my neighbours!!!

Mr Bundy's half sister is knocking about in that lot somewhere and I think there's a picture of my dog...

Okay, now you're frightening me. At least I'm doing my bit to dilute the gene pool...

Now now, this is Nundle - its not so much a gene pool, as a gene puddle, now is it? ;)

You say that, but there is a strong tradition of Nundle men going far afield to bag a woman and there are people from all over the world living there, strange place that it is.

Mr Bundy's grandfather told Mr Bundy's dad never to marry a pomme, as he had done. So Mr BUndy's dad went right ahead and married one. Mr Bundy's dad then told Mr Bundy never to marry a pomme. So what's he done? Gone and proposed to one!!!
:D :D :D

Do they have a tourist board in Nundle (silly question!) You should set one up if they don't and get commission for the number of plugs you give it!

I for one would love to check this place out sometime when I get to Oz - although with a 5.5hr drive they better have a nice 4 star hotel with jacuzzi for when I get there :D

I think I might actually be the tourist board...I should charge commission, but I'm just happy that they allow me to drink in the pub.

In actual fact, there is a 5 star guesthouse in Nundle, occasionally frequented by politicians and the like. Don't think it has a jacuzzi, but you can whack golf balls off the back verrandah and the go for miles! Check out the link http://www.nundle.info/guesthouse/jenkins/
