Day 2: Exploring Shep

We were cozily tucked up in our bed last night being lulled to sleep by the sound of gentle rain on the roof, but that didn’t last long. First came a train, so loud it could have been flying above us Harry Potter style. Next the screeches of tyres and the sounds of someone doing donuts and burnouts nearby. Then there were raised voices, a lovers tiff perhaps??
Having eventually settled to sleep, we awoke to thousands of cockatoo’s welcoming the dawn, all talking at the same time, screaming to be heard over one another, on and on and on, until the sun was firmly in place
The peace and tranquillity of living in the country amongst nature 😳

Woke to a damp and overcast morning, but that didn’t put us off.

Decided on a pre breakfast walk around the lake, but in true Horrox style we saw a path, leading to a bridge, and onto a trail, so detoured to explore. We found ourselves walking trails along the Goulburn River and Honeysuckle Creek, over bridges, through forests, amongst billabongs, finding sculptures along the way and the Botanic Gardens completely by accident. The 8km walk finished with a quick skidaddle around the lake then back for a much needed coffee.

Later a visit to SAM, the art museum. Then off to find some interesting street art, under bridges, on walls and the odd cow or two 😜

Popped into Shepparton Brewery for a taste of the local wares before heading home for a yummy dinner, our take on a friends Mexican Chicken made in the All in One Cooker-yumRead more
