Running of the Sheep Weekend 2022, 3rd Time Lucky!
Fully booked out!
Day 1 - Saturday
Our 2 night adventure will start at Haywards Bay with a drive to morning tea at Goulburn, After leaving Goulburn, Mark has some great back roads for you to enjoy before we arrive at Murrumburrah-Harden for lunch at the Terracotta restaurant.
After lunch we'll enjoy a talk and viewing given by the sculptor Carl Valerius on his work of Bill the Bastard, Australia's famous warhorse. The talk is only $5 pp and includes an information leaflet. There should be time to have a look around the town and view the mural on a building.
After the talk, we'll be stopping at the Chinese Tribute Gardens which is only 4klm from Young.
It's then only a very short drive to the Cherry Blossom Motel in Young where we'll stay for 2 nights.

The manager has stipulated that guests must be double vaccinated
Dinner will probably be at the Young Bowling Club. The kitchen closed last year due to covid, but it's undergoing renovations so hopefully it'll be trading by October.
Day 2 - Sunday
Sunday will be the Running of the Sheep, where they'll be let loose at high noon to run amok down the main street of Boorawa. Blink and you may miss it, but it's a lot of fun and there's plenty to see and do on the day with market stalls, a street parade, art show etc. You can spend the day at leisure in Boorowa, and lunch will be whatever you wish at either one of the cafes, pub or food stalls.
Dinner will be at the Young Services club
Day 3 - Monday
After breakfast on Monday, you can either head home, join us for lunch at a venue to be decided, or even extend your weekend if you wish for a few more days in a different town (we may do this). The choice is yours.
Book soon as the motel is already filling up, even at this early stage.
