Time is going to pass, regardless, so you may as well do SOMETHING.

It's all about me, it's always about me!  Some of my favourite photos, blogs from various trips, along with miscellaneous thoughts.

Walhalla

On the way down from Wadonga to Wilson's Prom, I "dropped" into Walhalla.  They were in the middle of their winter festival, and have the town lit up at night.

Walhalla is an old mining town that has been kept / restored in it's original condition, with lots of old buildings.  There is also a mine that can be toured, with talks on the area, how gold was first found, and the effort required to dig the mining tunnels.
Although the town is tricky to get to (at least in a Campervan) with lots of windy, hilly, narrow roads, it was definitely worth it.

The evening I was there taking photos was extremely quite, and aside from a couple of locals that run set up and run the lights and audio-visual presentations, I only saw one other couple in the town.  It was actually quite eery to be walking around the town that was all lit up, but basically deserted.
That night i chose to park the van at the camp ground area (just a basic picnic area) instaead of driving back out to the caravan park at Erica.   It was very peaceful, and VERY dark, however the temparture dropped down to about -3 degrees, and with no 240V power for the van, I couldn't run my heater.  But with tracky dacks and a beanie I was able to keep pretty warm.

Here's a LINK to a few more photos from the town, both at night, and during the day from the track above the town.
