Nagambie was a very small town with not a lot going for it wgen we lived there. That was over 50 years ago!
Warren did his clerical training at Puckap7nyal and the boys and I with our dog Reuben lived in the carzvan at the caravan park. We only stayed for about eight weeks, it was the muddle of winter and very cold. I remember that the shower block had no ceiling, it was cement blocks. With two small boys, one two and a half, the other ten months old and me pregnant, it was decided to relocate to Mum and Dads for the rest of his training.
Fifty years on and it is very upmarket, the laje is used for water sports and there were about eight cafes/coffee shops.
We were walking the town checking out the churches.
We sat out on the balcony overlooking the lake.
We were at the Black Cavier cafe, I assume the horse or trainer was from Nagambie.
A statue overlooi8ng the lake.
Then we travelling east across to Benalla.
Wow, what a contrast. Several shop fronts were empty, the place looked run down.
They did have an art gallery with a painting of Ned Kelly on the wall.
The art gallery in the background.
This was a virual and the requirements were to take a foot selfie with the gallery.
Also needed to write something in Dr Seuss vein.
This was mine.
Here us my foot
Without a boot
We are on a road trip
And stopped at this strip
Is it art or not
Maybe but good for a rest spot.
