YEOVAL
Yeoval is the classic surprise town.
You also will be surprised. Yeoval (a never heard of it town) is
encounted when traveling the Wellington/ Parkes Hgy. Yeoval is a very
small service town that has quite a number of unique heritage
qualities; not the least Banjo Paterson also features strongly with
the history of the town. 
The
town was the childhood home of Australian poet Banjo Paterson, who
lived on the nearby Buckinbah property, and many of his poems reflect
the area.
