The Horse Country

I drove from Sydney to Tamworth the third time last week. The distance was 400 odd km. Though tiring for the 5 hours' drive, I could still manage at this age. On my way, I stopped at Scone, the horse country, to find a loo to obey the call of nature. There was a Visitors' Information Centre. I walked past 2 signs apparent to me where the loo was supposed to be. One said "Colts" and the other "Fillies". I was unsure which was which though guessing that the "f" one should be for females. On the side of caution I walked into the centre to grab a map and asked the lady for the loo. She told me to go outside and find the one with "Colts" on the door. "Colts" are male horses. I then told her people like me who were not well conversant with English and the horse language wouldn't know. She said that was why people went in to ask. Next time, when you visit Scone, you will be smarterer than me if you are not already.
