Life up the Great Alpine Road

Last week I was in Nth East Victoria Australia, which happens to be my old stomping ground. Up in them hills there's a little village called Harrietville, which was indeed home. What a gorgeous mountain village in a special Alpine environment with native bush and pristine mountain rivers and absolute quiet. Ahhhh. The Autumn weather was crystal clear, cold and sunny. And the people - golden ;-) The nearby township of Bright is humming these days too. Though it's been contentious, the development and new shops bring a new energy and the town seems funkier, younger somehow. I think the writing's on the wall: could be Australia's Arrow Town (move over Byron Bay). So much good wine and food is grown/harvested/created up there too. We do love that, don't we. Here's pic of the crew enjoying a coffee in H'ville, lunch in the back yard and lunch out in fabulous Beechworth (hello Trina, Sam and birthday girl Kate).
