A MEMORY OF A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.

   A PLACE NOT TO BE  MISSED......

                       By DAWNIE 2005.

There was a sleepy little hollow where

nothing much happened except that every

day life moved at a very relaxed pace. The

fishing was good, one just had to hang a line

in and wile away a few hours and with luck,

you would be eating brown trout for your

evening meal. The accommodation was very

basic. The bush huts hadn't seen a lick of

paint for many a year, the furnishings were

sparse, the bedding was clean and warm,

each hut had an open fire and there was no

shortage of firewood.

The gardens surrounding this most scenic

and tranquil spot in the foothills of Victorias

High country was a credit to the owners.

Unless you were a bit of a wanderer you

would have missed this beautiful place

stored in my memories, it operated by word

of mouth and there were no bookings taken

what so ever. The weary traveller just

rolled on in and if there was space well

and good, if not a makeshift bed was made

and you were given a hot homely meal and

in the morning you were sent off with the

parting words do drop by another time. It

was the most endearing and quintessential

nature of the Australian character in its

earthiest and truest form.

This little back of beyond place where two

of the most warm and welcoming people

lived is nomore. So one of Australia's most

tranquil relaxing out of the way retreats is

gone.  So if you want to get in touch with

the true Australian Spirit I suggest you

make your way up to a little place called

Rose River at the foot of Mount Cobbler,

breath the pristine air, lie down close your

eyes and dream about wild brumbies

and  cattle wandering the high country

of Victoria.

Never been to Australia, but if I do I'll try to see the high country as you describe it.
