Cessnock (with an Australian accent)

On the way to Newcastle, the the bus went through this little town which wasn't much bigger than it's Scottish namesake. They were similar in name only though (as the picture shows) and the main street reminded me of "Rock Ridge" from the film Blazing Saddles. Once you go any distance out of Sydney the towns all begin to take on this American-style architecture. As Isla said, you automatically expect everyone in these towns to have an american accent.

I had to take this picture on the way out of Cessnock as Susan was mentioning how funny the names in Oz are. Try saying this quickly with a mouthful of yabbies...
