Photo Location: Old Dubbo Goal — Nadine Travels West - History & Travel Blog

Welcome to Nadine Travels West, your gateway to the captivating blend of Australian history and adventurous road trips. I'm Nadine, and my passion for old buildings, Australian history, family tree research, road trips, books, and horses has led me here.
My fascination with Australian Colonial History deepened when I relocated to Bathurst in the Central West of NSW in 2018. In October 2021, I launched the Nadine Travels West website and blog. Armed with my camera and accompanied by my faithful blue cattle dog, 'Loch,' I set out to document the stories, businesses, and events I encountered during my travels.
Join me as we journey through the pages of history, uncover hidden tales, and explore the timeless charm of historical buildings. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a fellow road tripper, or simply love our furry companions, there's something here for you.
Welcome to Nadine Travels West, where every adventure is a step back in time.
