Town of Windmills

Up for the second and final night visiting daughter Alex in Gilgandra. She is here for a two week medical placement as part of her training and has been given a two bedroom house to stay in while she is here - how fortunate for us!

Gilgandra is a town in rural NSW and has a population of 2700 people with 4700 living in the district.

Gilgandra is known as the town of Windmills. Until 1966 the town did not have a central water supply and most people in the town had a windmill. At one point the skyline of the township was dominated with approximately 360 Windmills.

Here's one of them.
