so I am taking you on a little nostalgia trip to the beautiful and
prosperous country town of Horsham, Victoria.
*
We like to make this our halfway house between Adelaide and
Melbourne, rather than over tax ourselves by doing the 700km
in one fell swoop.
*
I usually rise before the sun, take my camera and creep from
our motel room, taking care not to disturb the Prof. still gathering
strength for the road ahead.
*
I walk along the Wimmera river enjoying the light reflecting in the
water, then double back
*
*
past this charming old weatherboard house with its picket fence
that I have absolutely fallen in love with.
*
Rather neglected and complete with a lytch gate, just the place
for an elderly witch to grow herbs and gain the respect of passing
school childrn . . . .
*
Being a well to do town, it also boasts this beautifully restored
red letter box for the accomodation of His Majesty's mail.
Both now only of historical significance.
*
The world is a wonderful place, click on the Logo and discover.
*
Thanks to the great job the MY WORLD Team do, we can all
share in pooling our favourite places.

I enjoyed my walk along with you as we looked at the beautiful scenery.Thanks and take care.
