It was a fun adventure, Dorothy! We live in Tamworth, Oz, so when visiting our Canaussian son in 2015 we included Tamworth, Ontario, in our itinerary.

It's much smaller than our town but was interesting, just the same; our population is mid 50,000 while Ontario Tamworth is about 500. We both have Peel Street but ours is the busy main drag, while the Canadian one is a quiet lane near the river. Both towns were in areas first settled in the 1820s.

Madoc was a pit stop on the way back to Toronto. After driving on it once on a previous trip, we avoided the 401 like the plague on subsequent trips.
