Day 9 - Hay Gaol, Dunera Museum, Water Towers, Bridge and River

Day 9 was also spent in and around Hay. We began at the gaol which also served as a girls home during part of its history (with the cells called ‘camps’)! It has now been turned into a museum with various collections of household items from decades past. Then on to the Dunera Museum at the former railway station which tells of the internment camps around Hay during WWII. The men/boys arrived in Australia on the ship Dunera and maintained their culture and education. They formed an orchestra and also created their own currency. After lunch we wandered over to the water towers and walked across the river (and back).
