For The Love of Travel

My favorite places, photos and stories

20/8/2022 North East Victoria

Quaint Euroa our first stop. At the foot of the Strathbogie Ranges, Euroa began to grow due to traffic generated by the gold rush. Ned Kelly, Australia’s best-known bushranger, roamed the ranges around Euroa, holding up the National Bank in town during 1878. Much of the region’s wealth once came from sheep but now it comes from horse studs. Lots of historic buildings…we liked ‘Blairgowrie’, which stood out in the Main Street. Built in 1890 by pharmacist Mr H London. It last sold in 2018 for $690,000!

A quick stop at Glenrowan for a pic with Ned! 

Milawa cheese company tempted the taste buds…..oooh we loved their produce but particularly cheddar, Parmesan blue and goat camembert! 

A special stop for Mitzy in Wangaratta so she could release some energy at the Mitchell Ave Reserve. Chinese takeaway from the Wang Li restaurant. Yum.

Beautiful morning to visit Beechworth and do the scenic gorge drive and check out the 19thC buildings on Ford St. 

Yackandandah next, which was busy with a Farmers Market and Vintage cars display. Delightful little town.

We were wowed by the views from the Tallangatta lookout over the valley and Lake Hume ( impressive catchment 5 x the size of Sydney Harbour).

Colac Colac caravan park for the night.

I live in St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia. Having worked for 3 decades, yes 3......I now plan to travel the globe and am excited about the journeys and adventures ahead. I'd like to share stories, experiences and maybe some inspirations with friends and family in real time...
