The colours of the trees were beautiful.<br \/>Next day was Saturday and the best thing to do here is visit the Saturday market &#8211; wow, so many lovely stalls of local producers, farmers and crafters and where you can still buy apples by the bushel or peck (4 peck equals 1 bushel). We then continued our walk around town, over the Bill Thorpe walking bridge (the old railway bridge and part of the Trans Canada trail) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251004_1155171188938946836379916-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251004_1155171188938946836379916-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251004_1155171188938946836379916-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251004_1155171188938946836379916-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251004_1155171188938946836379916-18x24.jpg 18w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251004_1155171188938946836379916-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251004_1155171188938946836379916-36x48.jpg 36w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251004_1155171188938946836379916.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and along the lovely north riverfront trail to a good spot for tacos and local beer &#8211; Picaroons Brewery!

Driving through forests of autumn colours was beautiful but sadly not quite as picturesque as we&#8217;d hoped, as some minor roads were closed with construction works, so we had to stick to the main highways. We spied lots of fly fishermen in the river, catching the last few days of the salmon fishing season here, and then in Mirimichi, they were fishing for striped bass. We didn&#8217;t do a great deal as it was so hot but did visit Middle Island. This is where the ship Looshtauk docked in 1847 with Irish immigrants onboard with typhoid. The island became a quarantine area. Now, it has lovely trails and interesting history boards and a memorial to those who did not survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251006_1200565618424268661095013-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251006_1200565618424268661095013-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251006_1200565618424268661095013-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251006_1200565618424268661095013-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251006_1200565618424268661095013-18x24.jpg 18w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251006_1200565618424268661095013-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251006_1200565618424268661095013-36x48.jpg 36w, https:\/\/meanderingmumfords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251006_1200565618424268661095013.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Trail through Middle Island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> We then visited Newcastle across the river for lunch (joined by a cheeky red squirrel) and learnt about how the logs were floated to the port on the river down to the ship builders.

Here, the scenery changed to pine forests, logging trucks and paper mills.
