... a very light flavoured red (the kind that you enjoy the more you drink it) and Erin was taken by the Muscat while I was induced to buy some of the Pennyweight Gold - a really lovely dessert wine that isn't too sweet.<br><br>We still felt like there was a lot of the day left at 3pm so we headed then to the Bridge Road microbrewery, which is located in the city centre! They'd set the area up really well with a great outdoor drinking area connected to a roomy bar set with ...

... police occured.<br><br>We then spent a few hours at Beechworth, an historic little town which still has an operating telegraph station. We went on a scenic drive along the gorge (which was quite narrow with our big bus!)<br><br>After we headed down to the town of Bright and then into Mount Beauty, stopping at the overlooks of the town.

I did basically nothing in Albury, got in about 9 pm, left around 11 the next morning. To be honest, it didnt seem to have much to offer and I had no desire to stick around longer than I had to.

"Yes, ticket for two trips - there & back." "No I want TWO RETURN TICKETS TO ALBURY PLEASE." "Oh! You want another one. It will cost you twice as much. Another $93." Paul turns to Kerry, "Come on, he's scaring me." Had two hours before our train so we checked our bags onto the train (just like an ...
