Great Places To Visit.

This lovely little town of Buchan is nestled in East Gippsland in beautiful Victoria. It is well known for its limestone caves: Buchan Caves. We recently stayed in Buchan for a couple of days of rest and relaxation, and as per my previous blog on the Calemondah Cafe, its got good food, and also very comfortable accommodation. We enjoyed the comfort of a hill top log cabin courtesy of our hosts Peter and Rosie White. The cabin was new and comfortable with lovely views down the valley. Following are some pics I took around the place while enjoying a relaxing walk. If you happen to go to Buchan to visit the caves or to enjoy beautiful East Gippsland, then call in to see what Peter and Rosie have to offer. Their web page is www.buchanaccommodation.com

Well what do you do when you have 2 weeks off to roam around Victoria? You make the most of it!! We hadn't been for a drive around Victoria for a very long time. One stand out in our touring was the little town of Buchan, known for it's caves. We cruised down from Thredbo to Jindabyne and then down The Barry Way through Kisciuszko and The Alpine National Parks.B-E-A-utiful drive, but lots of tight curves and turns, and large sections of dirt road (not a problem in the dry - check with authorities when it's wet). We enjoyed it as there are lots of roadside stops, camping and picnic areas along the way (with drop toilets). It's a long drive down as the going is slow, but we wanted to see the National Parks, and see them we did! Liked it so much I would do it again, so long as we can borrow my brother in laws 4 wheel drive again. Some people were travelling in normal sedans along this road, but it wouldn't have been very comfortable. We arrived in Buchan some 5 hours...
