Started raining here around a half hour ago. Misty stuff, less than .3mm, just enough to steam up the roads.
Temp has dropped here by around 5 degrees, to 17.

Nothing better than an evening 'blockie' and a ferry ride just to unwind after a long day of travel...

There's a really nice loop from Wodonga out through Beechworth (old gold mining town), Myrtleford, Bright, Mt Beauty, Falls Creek, Yackandandah, Ebden/Bonegilla, Wodonga.

Is that the Alpine Way?  I learned of that after putting this trip together so I shan't be doing it this time around.  I'd definitely like to come this way again so that will be one for the future.

It's why I came out this way.  I didn't realise the ferry was that far from Albury though.

I'd better book two nights then.

I looked at the weather forecast for today's course.  Rain everywhere.  It looks like I have no chance of avoiding it.
