24 Sep 2024- Beechworth- Shepparton

Very much appreciated being able to stay at Lisa’s place in Beechworth, but it was time to get going west after by big diversion! The first stop was Wangaratta ,  a lovely little town with a beautiful cathedral and some good street art too. 

After a short walk around I headed into the infamous Glenrowan- where Ned Kelly’s last stand occurred. I went to the museum and then walked around the info boarded sites of events  that occurred.  

After a few hours spent in Glenrowan i drove to Shepparton to meet up with Andrew (from Antarctica) and Linda. I met at their place after which Andrew and I went out for lunch , then to the MOVE museum and then to check out the painted cows . HOW NOW painted on a brown cow was my favourite. 

The MOVE museum has a very extensive display of cars (old and new), motorbikes, bicycles, Furphy tanks and a superb personal fashion collection. Then in an other hall there are huge trucks , primer movers and old buses! There is also another personal , donated collection of radios and telephones! 

As also – it was great to catch up with Andrew and Linda and even meet some of the grandkids and check out Andrews SPC bulk sale businesses.
