6th January 2025 - Myrtleford Today we travelled in the rain the whole way to Myrtleford, and it continued into the evening. After setting up camp at the Myrtleford Recreation Ground, we got out the umbrellas and walked into Myrtleford to have a look around and take a look in the information centre, which had closed early due to it being the holiday season. We dropped in for a drink at the local before heading back to camp. 7th January 2025 - Myrtleford - Murray to Mountains Rail Trail What a beautiful morning for a bike ride.  The first stop was at the information centre for a rail trail map then off we went towards Bright.  The trail runs alongside the Great Alpine Rd and occasionally veers off away from the road into farmland.

We also saw a tiger snake crossing ...

Perth then the long drive home.

It was built for the Millenium and bellringers ring the bell at 12pm every day. Bell tower.
