Cooma to Bairnsdale

Shops in the main street of Cooma.  You know you are in a rural area. They don't sell drench, chooks or rams in Epping.

In fact, we were talking to a couple at our motel.  They were off to a ram sale at Berriale.  They were fine wool producers.  

Driving from Cooma, there were lots of sheep and lambs.  They looked in good nick, and the country was lovely.

We had lunch at Cann River...

where we saw our first bell. It was in a cute, and multi-faith church.  

 

Dinner  tonight was in a club in Bairnsdale.

And there is a dress code.  I learned some new terms, helpfully explained. And glad I had done my mending!

Kin Mun commented that he had found accommodation harder to get than he expected, especially as we needed two rooms.  We inquired further and were told it had been very busy - another COVID effect.  People were catching up with things undone for 2 years.  When we looked around, there were work vehicles in the motel car park.  So it wasn't just people avoiding flooded routes.
