JUNEE ROUNDHOUSE MUSEUM / AUSTRALIA
One of the best places to visit in NSW is Junee, a small town in the Riverina. Ok, so I am a little biased because I live here, but it sure does have a lot going for it for a small country town. And today, we’re going to visit the Junee Roundhouse Museum. I love…
