Bright was fairly spread out with lots of old style shops. I went into a fabric shop that sold lots of little nic nacs and as the photo will show they had a special spot for husbands to sit, I thought it was unreal "Husbands Parking, but only between 10 and 5" so funny. We had lunch by "Ovens River"
which was flowing like crazy. They had two water slides going into the weir but they were closed due to the rapid currents running through there due to the heavy rainfall they have had. The park was pretty with lots of shady trees. It was a pretty town.
Myrtleford we just drove through, there was one main road in and a fairly small town.
Beechworth had the largest cake shop but we both resisted the temptation, well sort of, we succumbed to an iced coffee and I have never tasted cream like it before, it was so thick and creamy. We walked around the old township and talked to this old fellow in the Telegraph Office and we sent off a telegram to each of our grandkids, they probably won't know what they are. The buildings were very old and very quaint.
Yackandandah had lots of old buildings but no real need to stop and view anything, so we headed back to Lake Hume and got some photos of the other side of the dam which was still letting out a lot of water as it is over 95% full and only had 10% capacity last year, so all the residents are quite excited about the variations.
Tomorrow we are off to Corowa and Rutherglen where apparently they have lots of wineries. Not that I need anymore at the moment as every afternoon is spent sipping wine having cheese and biscuits and if where lucky eating dinner after 7pm.
Wow, so the water is still flowing down there, it was flooding when i was there.
