Us 4 Tanners love to get away, even if it's just overnight. This last weekend we decided to take a mini adventure to Walhalla in the Gippsland District only a short 1.5 hours drive from home. What a beautiful little town - full of history and buzzing with stories of yester year. We stayed overnight at a lovely little farm bungalow overlooking the most spectaculor scenery. During the day we ventured into Walhalla - past the old train lines & steam train, cottage homes, olde shoppes, a tiny stream, loads of trees (yet to change into their autumn colour), old buildings and a gold mine! Kobe's highlight! When you hear stories of yester year it really does make you grateful for the time you live in - with all its mod cons! Life really doesn't seem so hard. The next day we took a winding trip around the mountains to Thomson Dam to see how bad the drought had hit Melbourne's water supply. Bring on the rain! Even though it was just an overnighter it was great to get a bit of refreshment and fill our lungs with some clean country fresh air!
