God's Country

We drove on to Dargo in the High Country, we found this perfect spot out on Two Mile Creek just out of town.Next morning back into town for the obligatory shot by one of Australia's great pubs.
Unfortunately there wasn't time to hang around, so a quick coffee over the road & UP we went into "God's Country".
The fires had been so servere that most of the trees had been killed & the saplings were coming on.
I had stayed here at Gow's Hotel site 29 years ago & had planned to stay the night, but it was a bit too overgrown to be comfortable, beautiful none the less.
Alison doing the "High Country Hustle" or was that just a horse fly?
We pulled up for lunch at this piece of heaven.....
Apparently they are trying some cattle up here again. It seemed to work for a hundred years or so......
We drove onto Bright, one of our favourite spots in Australia. But the "inn was full" so a quick call to Karl & Sylvia, had us camped at their place.
Backing onto the Ovens River, it doesn't get better than this....
A little bit of pruning by Karl soon had Turtle nestled amongst the trees, with his 2 Citroen's for company....
A lovely meal was cooked & a few good bottles of red to thank them for their hospitality.
