Heading up the highway we decided to go much the same way as we did last year to Far North Queensland (FNQ) Australia.
We stopped at Glenrowan, Victoria for early lunch at the Bakery, it was cold, so cold.
Parked in parking bay for caravans and cars and ate it, spotted the temperature at 2 degC.
After eating we got out for a walk and found Ned Kelly statue a notorious bush ranger way back.
The town centres around the memories of this man, a museum, gift shops and such.
We continued on and stayed at Wodonga, Victoria a rather nice town for one night, then off the next morning to another town to sleep.
The swimming pool at the Wodonga Caravan Park and the highway which goes through the town.
You certainly do see a lot of Australia on your peregrinations.
ReplyDeleteWe do, and we always try to see something different even though we mostly likely have been to the same place as before, there is something different to seek out and see.
DeleteYour travels are so interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes John, always interesting.
DeleteTu cámara, habrá regresado del largo viaje completa de fotografías. Yo acabo de regresar de una pequeña salida aprovechando un puente de cuatro días. Aún las fotografías permanecen en la cámara, esperando que tenga tiempo de introducirlas en el ordenador.
ReplyDeleteBesos
I took many photos, and I download them each week onto my laptop, name the folders so that way I don't forget where I've been :)
DeleteTwo degrees at noon is unbelievably cold, so I guess you did not plunge into the pool. I had not realised how big the statue of Ned is in real life.
ReplyDeleteNed is very large Andrew, couldn't miss it and yes, another 'big' thing :)
DeleteI recall the wind wasn't blowing in Glenrowan, if it had of been it would have been chilling to the bone.
Two degrees at lunctime is Canberra weather.
ReplyDeleteLike Andrew I hadn't realised how BIG Ned Kelly is. Yet another of our 'big things'.
Oh yes, well aware of Canberra weather as we have been there in the past several times in winter, but you would know more than I do about Canberra weather..:)
DeleteHe is a big fellow and 2 degrees is just too cold.
ReplyDeleteMerle...........
It is cold Merle but we were to encounter colder temperatures as we went inland up north.
DeleteI bet it was a chilly night in your camper. What's up with Mr Kelly's head? He looks like a bank for coins!
ReplyDeleteCynthia, Ned wore head gear similar to that in reality, he had to see and breathe etc..
DeleteWasn't cold in the caravan, we have a heater.
Isn't that flying time a bit long? Helicopter flying times - 6 hours!
ReplyDeleteColin
Well that's what it said, whom am I to tell Google it's different :)
DeleteBeen to Glenrowan have a photo of me in front of Ned Kelly
ReplyDeleteI've never had a photo taken with Ned yet..
DeleteI'm traveling through Australia, with your blog. ..I'm loving it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Krishna.
DeleteThe Billy Tea Rooms looks like a nice place for a cuppa.
ReplyDeleteI'm told it's nice there for a cuppa or coffee.
DeleteBeautiful town, espacially the tall man, ha ha.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteThe Ned Kelly statue caught my attention. Did a search and found that he was not such a nice person.
ReplyDeleteGlad you did research on Ned - no not a nice person at all.
DeleteQueensland has the Big Pineapple, the Big Gumboot and the Big Mud Crab, and Victoria has the Big Bushranger! :)
ReplyDeleteYes Lee, the Big Bad Bushranger! :)
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThat was very cold at that time.
Nice shot of the bush ranger.

Marco
