The Taralga Tour
It’s a while since we’ve been to Taralga and even longer since we’ve lunched at the Argyle Inn, so now’s the time to get both things done.
Taralga is a great little town, built on land donated by the son of wool pioneer John Macarthur, cleared and developed by convicts in the mid-1800s. We can explore it after lunch, and maybe we can ask the volunteers at the museum to open up for us. Whatever, we do, we are going to have a delicious lunch at the Argyle Inn first.
The Argyle Inn is the oldest still trading hotel in Taralga. First built in 1875 in the Victorian tradition, and further modified in the later part of the nineteenth century and early 20th century, it has received a significant makeover and now hosts a kitchen producing simple and delicious food. What more could we want after a nice drive?
We’re looking at a run of, roughly, 150 km each way, through mostly nice country roads, with a bit of highway thrown in because, well, we don’t have much choice.
The currently proposed route is available through the following link, but like lots of things, it’s subject to change. It will, however, give you an idea of what we have planned: https://goo.gl/maps/BXbWPan2r1ahRLkEA

Run Grade: This is a cruiser run, suitable for all drivers. It features narrow country roads, mostly reasonably quiet, but the roads may have rough edges and some potholes to avoid. The Club’s Grading System is described at https://nsw.mx5.com.au/events/important-information/run-gradings.
