V then W

All day we watched  the sky. V for Violet Town held some little surprises.

Not ony are the streets named after flowers, but the signs all feature drawings of the flowers. The main street had similar signs indicating the hairdresser, the newsagent etc. Very quaint.
We voted this to be the best "town" sign of the trip.....courtesy of Leunig!


A pleasant run into Benalla. Have resolved to visit the art Gallery on our way home as the weather was closing in. We took a back route through Winton, climbed into Glenrowan where the first raindrops fell. Coat on and pedalled like hell as we saw the storm coming down the valley. Paused to take this photo of W for Wangaratta. At least it was still in sunshine!

Tent up before any moisture fell.

Now we are beginning to sound like the English - fixated on the weather - but it does make a difference to how far we can go and where we can stay.  Three letters to go. We  anticipate being back in Shepparton on Wednesday afternoon late, if the W, S/W winds don't hamper us too much. Bet you can't guess "X"!
