3 night's here, very cold outside, nice in van with our heater. Have been to the markets, purchased very nice bacon, kebana & sausages from local producer. The  Botanical Gardens & zoo was next, great to see so many families there even though it was cold!! Finished the day with Manchester Rummy game with Ian and Coralie, I came last but didn't get a wooden spoon prize 😞 Trip to Junee & Temora from Wagga. Licorice & Chocolate factory high priority, also Railway roundhouse museum well worth a look in Junee. Temora has wonderful Aviation Museum.

A foggy morning, not sure if trip to Bright is good idea for today, however turned into nice weather and able to see some of the beautiful autumn colour Bright is famous for. Even found a seat for Tone! Pleasantly surprised not as cold as it could have been. Late lunch in Beechworth at bakery and walk around to see the preserved street heritage.
