THIS WEEK ON DNA.
WE ARRIVE BACK AT WANGARATTA AFTER OUR VISIT TO THE SNOW.
WE HEAD OUT FOR A DRIVE TO EXPLORE THE SURROUNDS.
OUR FIRST STOP IS BEECHWORTH, WE TAKE A WONDER THROUGH THIS HISTORIC TOWN THAT IS A BOOMING TOURIST HOTSPOT.
WE STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUND ABOUT IN THE CENTRE OF TOWN AND ARE BLOWN AWAY WITH THE OLD BUILDINGS AND HOW WELL KEPT THEY ARE.
OUR FIRST STOP OF COURSE IS THE LOCAL BAKERY, GEES THIS PLACE WAS BUSY.
I LINED UP WHILE NIK TOOK SOME FOOTAGE OF WHAT WAS ON OFFER.
WE MADE OUR WAY UPSTAIRS TO THE TOP BALCONY WHICH LOOKED OVER THE STREET, I GOT 2 PIES - A NED KELLY PIE AND A PEPPER PIE.
NIK FOUND A VANILLA SLICE THE ONE WITH CREAM IN IT'S HER FAVOURITE.AFTER THE BAKERY WE HEAD TO THE TOURIST INFO AND THE OLD COURT HOUSE WONDER THROUGH THE OLD STREETS ADMIRING THE ROSES AND HISTORY.
WE MAKE OUR WAY TO THE OLD GAOL, WHERE NED KELLY SPENT A FAR BIT OF TIME AND NEARLY EVERYONE ELSE WHO RUBBED SHOULDERS WITH HIM.
WE SIT ON THE WALL OUTSIDE THE GAOL AND TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU CAN DO THROUGH OUT THE TOWN.
I EVEN ASKED IF I COULD DROP NIK OFF, BUT WAS TOLD NO, BUT THEY WOULD TAKE ME.
WE WALKED BACK THROUGH TOWN TO THE HONEY TASTINGS - WHERE YOU GUESSED IT NIK'S FIRST TASTING WAS CHOCOLATE AND HAZELNUT HONEY.
WE HEADED TO BILLSON'S BREWERY - HERE NIK TRIED ALL THE SWEET FLAVOURS ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY WERE EVEN TOO SWEET FOR HER.

THE NEXT DAY WE TAKE A DRIVE BACK TOWARDS BEECHWORTH AND TURN OFF TO A TOWN CALLED ELDORADO.
THIS PLACE IS FAMOUS FOR THE BIG DREDGE AND THE SMALLEST BAR IN VICTORIA.
AFTER THE DREDGE WE HEADED TO THE PUB FOR LUNCH ONLY TO FIND THE CHEF WASN'T THERE ,SO NO FOOD TODAY - BUMMER, WE TIMED IT SO WE WERE THERE FOR LUNCH.
SO, WE CHANGED PLANS AND HEADED TO ANOTHER TOWN CALLED MILAWA - HERE WE STOPPED AT THE BAKERY FOR LUNCH AND THEN CALLED INTO - BROWN BROTHERS WINERY.
NIK HAD TO TRY ALL THE SWEET MOSCATO WINES BEFORE SETTLING ON ONE TO TAKE HOME.
AFTER THE WINE TASTING NIK WANTED TO TRY THIS QUIRKY CHEESE COMPANY IN MILAWA.
THERE WAS FRENCH FURNITURE OUTSIDE TO EAT YOUR CAKE AND CUPS OF TEA.
NIK TRIED ALL THE CHEESES EVEN THE BLUE - WHICH SHE HAS ALWAYS TURNED HER NOSE UP AT BUT TO HER SURPRISE SHE LOVED IT.
BUT NO CAKE FOR NIK THIS TIME SHE SPENT TOO LONG AT BROWN BROTHERS.
WE END THIS ONE HERE - BUT BEFORE WE GET HOME, WE COME ACROSS ANOTHER ECHIDNA ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

SO, GRAB A DRINK OF YOUR CHOICE SIT BACK IN A COMFY CHAIR AND WATCH OUR ADVENTURE UNFOLD.
