Benalla, Victoria. Australia

Benalla is a small city about 188 km (120 mile) from Melbourne, in the State of Victoria, Australia.
We don't often travel through this lovely small city as it's a different way to where we want to go, but it's good to try and travel on a different road, even though it's sometimes criss crossing making the journey up north in winter to a warmer climate longer.
We prefer not to fly but to stay at motels about 400 to 500 km (248 -310 miles approx.) apart each day till we arrive at our destination.

The last time we were there was in 2012, and I wanted to take a photo of the Catholic Church, so hence I did about 15 minutes before Mass began.

St. Joseph's Church was built in 1908, with various internals added over the years including the pipe organ which I didn't get the chance to take a photo of.

Zucchini Slice!

At this time of the year, some of us have access to Zucchini's.  One of our daughter in law's supplies us with many, so hence it's into cooking them, one way is by making a slice in the oven. This slice could be likened to a type of Quiche. It's very tasty and we usually have a piece for afternoon tea, or supper before bedtime if peckish. Anyway they always get eaten. Sometimes I freeze them.
