In my travels, the weirdest ones I passed through is Mooball and Woodenbong.

They are up in Northern NSW.

Cheers

Mooball.. kinda weird name alright Ric .. they used to make a great burger there in days gone .. The garage with all the old stuff for sale was also a treat .. I think it still gets a bit of through traffic despite the new highway that exludes the range .. I actually drove it a while back and its a few minutes longer that way .. fun and fairly safe drive now though .
( someone stole the painted cows a while back )


Woodenbong .. been there a couple of times .. once for footy .. when we arrived the field was awash with sheep
the ground was covered in ice.. some very nice elevated observing areas up in this part of the world with very clear
southern skys .
