Benella. Home to Walter for ten years and home to his family for many more. But everyone has moved to other places or passed away. And for us, Benalla is now a place of memories.
Walter's family home, small and modest, but they owned it. A great achievement for new migrants to Australia, in the mid 1950s.
Coffee time, in a lovely sunny spot on the street.
A few shoppers around, on a Friday morning.
We looked across the street to the very large shop that was once Harrisons, a huge hardware store. Rudolf was the manager there. Sadly now it is a cheap gift store.
The very smart public toilets. We are finally getting used to country towns, and make sure we know where the toilets are, before we have coffee.
On the road again. The beautiful gum trees lining the country road.
Then onto the Hume Highway, destination Melbourne, then around the city edge to Geelong and then to Point Lonsdale.
