Day 2; Everton to Beechworth

The town of Everton is on the floor of the Ovens Valley. Beechworth is the hill station. Today, the only way is up! And well done troops, we did it.

Another crystal clear blue day. Beautiful scenery, butterfly forests, rosellas, and railway bridges and cuttings that looked very handmade.

The climb was rewarded with the sight of the historic town of Beechworth. At the museum we checked out Ned Kelly's armour, walked down a 19th century street and I poked at the glass cases of more stuffed birds than you can imagine.

The motel was way up out of the town, but our host Steve was amazing, giving us a lift and guided tour into town, picking us up and even racing mum back into town when we realised later that we'd left our bakery shopping at the counter - we couldn't leave our buns behind!

There were bubblebaths alround tonight. These care packages delivered to our accomodations each night are great; nappies AND bubblebath.
