Blackwood to Woodend

Tuesday temperature range 4 - 16˚We went 2km up the road to Blackwood, where a coffee roaster advertises. 

We got coffee at the Post Office/café/antiques/general store.  It took a while because the lady was very chatty.  She has no indoor seating [plans with council] so offered to do “drive through”.  If we sat in the car, she would bring it to us!  We looked at the antiques while we waited.  We moved the car into the sun to drink our coffee as the day was so cold.  After coffee we had a walk around the beautiful, tiny town with a lot of holiday accommodation. 

The Fire Refuge is on the end of the Country Fire Authority building.  We have seen a few signs.

We then went to Woodend, a larger country town with the most enormous wide main street – two lanes and bike lanes, then a garden and a parking lane.  They have a huge craft brewery and many repurposed buildings.

We had a look in the garden shop wondering what plants we could buy tomorrow before we leave.  They could go in the spare esky to travel home on Saturday.
