Our first stop as we headed east from town was Kangaroo Ground, a small farm community. Here, there is a tower on a hill dedicated to the men lost during WWI (among other conflicts).
Also at this location is a gazebo offering a fine view of the countryside and a series of posters explaining both the lives of the aboriginals as well as the european settlers.
My apologies for those of you who are a bit squeamish, but signs such as the one below are not uncommon. Rabbits are a real pest in some places as are while dogs.
We saw the Long-Biller Corella alongside the road.
And seemingly endless fields of grapes for the production of wine.
In Healesville, we had a nice lunch and a pleasant stroll about town.
You'll notice that behind the logging truck, the Grand Hotel has a drive in balcony that is open. Sorry. Couldn't resist. Gotta practice my (grand)dad jokes
We found a cheesemonger and decided to drop in for a look about.
There was a delightful selection of cheeses and we bought a very good blue cheese for dinner.
Terrific place for a gentle drive in the country. We head back out that way before long.
