Jan 22, 2012 - Beechworth

 Beechworth - a very old historic town.

Went for a drive to Stanley then to Myrtleford & back to Beechworth. Along the way we stopped at an orchard. Their apricots were to die for not to mention the blackberries & apples.  No constipation here!!! lol

The Post Office

The old bank which has a gold vault

The old courthouse where Ned Kelly was tried

 All the buildings are extremely old & very interesting.

Looking up the street

Stopped in Young for a brief lunch, had a look at the Old railway station. Very interesting.  I don't know why I keep taking photos of old churches, I'm not even religious. Just like them I guess.

Jan 21, 2012 - Bethungra

Bethungra - a little place between Cootamundra & Junee. We free camped at a dam a few km's off the main road. So peaceful & tranquil, only to get up the next morning to extreme winds. Decided to move on.

Cania Gorge - what a beautiful place. We walked approx 9 klms in one day along tracks in the National park.  As you can see I wore my hiking clothes, didn't want to get lost.  lol
