Thursday - Melbourne to Narrandera
Started off at lunchtime on Thursday.
Up the Hume Hwy. Detour off at Beveridge for a few photos.
The Kelly House, where Ned was born.
Wood carved Ned Kelly statue at the local Community centre
Hume and Hovell plaque in a nearby park
Stopped at a rest area on the Goulburn Valley Hwy near Nagambie, where this memorial to fallen servicemen stands. A local, Calder Woodburn, was killed in action in WWII. His father planted an avenue of trees in his memory. These trees now adjacent to the Fwy. The rest area has been named after him, but the memorial here is to all of the local servicemen and women who died in WWII.
This rest area has some nice shaded spots for vehicles to park. (In Japan we found rest areas on freeways which had similar shelters but were for motorcycles only)
Everywhere I go I keep seeing Sikh temples. This one is in Shepparton.
The Big Strawberry in Koonoomoo
A plaque at the location advises that this used to be the location of Koonoomoo state school for 100 years from 1892 - 1992
School of the Arts Building in Finley.
Narrandera was the home of a flying school during WWII. Pilots trained in Tiger Moth biplanes. There is now a Tiger Moth memorial in the park on the Newell Hwy.
A perusal of the WWI memorial in the main street finds a common surname in Australia, but not common on Australian War memorials.
They've run out of space in the centre median for war memorials. Must be a sign that we've been involved in enough wars.
