Everton (Ovens River) 27 October 2005

After a cold night, we woke up to a warm morning and had a leisurely breakfast. We then drove straight down to Yackandandah (after a short stop at the Ettamogah Pub). Yackandandah is an old gold mining village that nestles into the base of the Victorian Alps. After lunch, we drove up the mountain to Beechworth, another well-preserved gold mining town. Jimmy took the hills very well and we have no problems with him so far (touchwood). Settled down on a campsite on the Oven River. On a walk along the river, we were attacked by the biggest mossies we have ever seen. We rushed back to Jimmy and anchored him down so they wouldn’t carry him away!
