Mark Roberts #18 Slide 17 Meat Pies Wellington, NSW. Circa 1969

A Saturday drive up the Mitchell Highway 
to Wellington. Mill said that she had heard
at the CWA there was a new cake shop
with the best pies west of Lithgow. 

A 150 mile round trip to buy a pie and sauce
seemed a perfectly normal thing to do. And
the pies were good eaten on a picnic table
next to the Macquarie river with lemonade
 
in anodised aluminium travelling cups.
Afterwards we wandered around the park
while Dad and Tom went across the road
for a few beers before the drive back to Orange.
