A Rotary Progress Part 1


We opted to join 24 other couples on a fun roundabout drive to Beechworth. First stop was a picnic lunch at Hanging Rock.









Labour Day was cooler there than in the city, so we began with a game of bocche.
Proceedings were overseen by the resident kookaburra.



Nearby, the carved tree trunk is an icon

















The local acacia is striking

 After lunch a cross country drive via Granite Hills gave an opportunity to overstock our cellar with both the shiraz and riesling, since Mr Knight terminated his relationship with Dan Murphy following a  pricing disagreement.   The roads, new to us, showed the reason for the winery name















The day concluded at Nagambie where our Comfort Inn motel room had a delightful view.
En route to dinner at the Nagambie Lakes Entertainment Centre we saw a park bench dedicated to the Uniting Church demolished by a semi trailer a few years ago.

  1. Are any inferences to be drawn from the omission of a description of the meal at the "Nagambie Lakes Entertainment Centre"?
