• Omeo to Olinda

    Nov 2–3, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    We set off bright and early, before 8am. The drive to Olinda was long but scenic and picturesque. On the way we stopped at Bairnsdale, Moe and Morwell. We went to the farmers market and got yummy apples at Bairnsdale, looked in Gippsland Art Gallery in Bairnsdale, bought fresh plump cherries at Moe and visited the Latrobe Regional Art Gallery in Morwell. I was very taken to the charcoal sketches and the aboriginal expressions of art at the respective galleries.
    We stopped at Trafalgar for a short leg stretch hike which turned out to be a lovely walk but with steep inclines and descents. We did all that without lunch, if you count an apple as lunch.
    Ruby found a lovely bracelet on Marketplace that matched a necklace she had, and we picked it up from Narre Warren South. Dinner was a shared bowl of hot mala noodles at the food court of Paradise Shopping Centre. We were even too tired to eat.
    We finally got to Olinda at 7.15pm.
