A few days ago we decided to travel up the Hume towards Sydney rather than up the coast to save a few hours of travelling time, and as it was approaching peak hour we took the "scenic route" through the Dandenong's and Yarra Valley before getting on the highway at Euroa. We stopped for lunch about 30 seconds from being "interstate" at Albury, before heading towards our destination at Gundagai. Of course we took the compulsary stopover at the Ettamoogah Pub about 15 kms out of town. If you don't know what that is, you have missed years of excellent "Ocker" cartoons in the "Australia Post" magazine. About twenty years ago they decided to immortalize the "township" for the sake of tourism and have done an incredible job. I was particularly chuffed that they actually have a real bar inside ... Libby for her part was rapt that the shop sold Ettamoogah Pub snow globes. The "collectable" precedent has defintely been set.
Next stop was to wonder at the full size WWI submarine in the park at the small NSW country town of Holbrook - wtf is that about???
Time now to fire up the BBQ at the Gundagai River Caravan Park, and crack that next beer...
(Libby wants to say "stay safe until I get home")
