We headed up to Echuca for the long weekend. The police announced a blitz on bikes over the long weekend so the challenge was set. Hit as few main roads as possible. Saturday morning we went up through Kinglake, Break'o'day road and junction hill, then morning tea at Yea. From there through Highlands, over the hills to Euroa, Plenty of long flat straight roads between there and Echuca, but I tried to mix it up a bit.

Saturday arvo we checked out the National Holden Museum. Some great old cars, some restored, some original,

I reckon the 350ci HT Monaro is about the nicest looking car ever built.

The Irish pub in town had about 90 different parmas on the menu. This was the mixed grill parma.

Afterwards we went for a ride to Barham for lunch. To get there we rode along the NSW side of the Murray. Found this wonderful sculpture on an old windmill

Quite a large solar farm in Barham. This was about half of the PV array.

Monday home via more backroads. Stopped at Strath Creek general store for lunch. They were all out of Irish sausage rolls, but the beef stroganoff pies were excellent.

Barfa parma?! :shock:

hahah I had drowned it in gravy at that point. A chicken schnitzel with cheese melted on it, a steak, short cut bacon, an egg and a sausage to top it off. The only thing that could have made it better would be if it was breakfast. !

Glad to see you took my culinary advice! How was the Kilkenny?
