DOWN THE ROAD

"Going down the road " for the weekend .
It`s my chance to  be the visitor, to go out to breakfast, do tea/ dinner around a communal table at Chinta Blue in St Kilda,  share the world of my children and grand children.

Spending as much time as I want browsing through Bizarre On Chapel,

Down the road is just that...a 90 minute drive from the La Trobe Valley to Melbourne . I live surrounded by natural scenic and historic tourist destinations  at the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges

 For example....

The ninety mile beach.
Walhalla Gold fields
Agnes Falls
Tarra Valley
Bulga Park
The Open Coal mines  ( Loy yang , Morwell , and Yallourn ).

...and there is so much more  !

The La Trobe Valley is the heart of Gippsland and the region is the food bowl of primary produce  ...A very old and long line of sustainable  dairy farms, award winning cheeses from local cheese producers , a commercial snail farm .
We have great wineries , top quality restaurants and casual eateries , orchards, venison , lamb, beef , pork,  game fowl, rabbit and poultry farms. The commercial potato farmers at Thorpdale, vegetable farms of all descriptions producing  top quality crops. Without a doubt we have the best sea food industry  in the country, our  source and supply of quality seafood is legendary. Our inland waterways are another reason why fisherman from all over come to Gippsland....

So I `m about to head down the road, I`ll catch up with family, cuddle Max, shop with Nicole and Ella, dinner with Shaun and Dee, breakfast with Paul and watch as Dale finishes the half marathon at the MCG on Sunday.  Team Monash  23289.
