Thanks for the peek at your town. Loved seeing the horsedrawn carriage.
I've never heard the term "shire"..
What does that mean?
:)
Really enjoyed this. What does Yarrawonga mean?
Interesting photos! I enjoyed seeing these.

Thanks for the walk around Yarrawonga. I haven't been there in a while, and have been thinking that one day I'll make that a train journey destination. I love the sign on the customs house.
Hi Mate..
You certainly done justice to the town.
Great photos they look good.
See you soon xx
Hi,
You have a very beautiful town or shire.
I especially loved the pics of the lake.

Oooooh, I have always loved Yarrawonga, but it has been so long since I have been there. Sure is look like I've gotta do a camping trip up there very soon.
Do you have the Slim Dusty song "I'm Going Back Again To Yarrawonga" ?? I love it, and used it with a photo video I put together from our last camping trip to Dead River Beach, between Yarrawonga and Cobram, in June 2005. I can send you a copy by email, if you don't have it, and want it !!!
Take care, Meow
Hi Jan, great shots of Yarra.
I loved the pictures of your home town. I wish I could visit sometimes but there again, I would have to fly.
I really came by to check to see if all was well with you. I heard there was a sunami. I hope it wasn't near you all. connie from Texas.
Great photos! I like so much the "Customs house Yarrawonga".
And thank you for your compliment about my photos. (Did you see my new blog in Portuguese? Just click on the Brazilian Flag to see it)
Thanks for that lovely scenic tour. I know I have been there years ago when I was still a Mexican. Cheers and hugs Margaret
Thanks for popping by and I am glad the post about women's heart attacks was helpful. Glad you pulled through yours.
I am envious of your lovely weather right now although I suppose you are into Autumn now as we are in Spring, but you wouldn't know it. We still have about 12ft of snow and the temperature is meant to dip to -25C overnight. Do pop by again and bring your sunshine. I liked the pictures of your town.
Looks like a great town to live in
Those are nice pictures of you town. Thanks, Jan.
I did some catching up on your blog tonight, you have been writing steadily haven't you. I always liked the curtain rod joke.
..
Does Cazz plan to write some more? She was a good helper.
..
beee-uuuu-tttt-iii-fulll pictures.
But you must forgive me while I get my maracas and dance around the room singing "yarra yarra wonga... yarra yarra wonga."
I LOVE that name. And then for it to be the Shire of Yarrawonga.. that makes it even more fun.
You live there.. and take it for granted.
You would do the same if you knew the name of my town.
You would grab yours and play back up ... honest you would.
Hi Jan ~~ Geat photos of Yarrawonga
It is a very pretty town. Did you take all those photos? Thanks for your visits, I haven't been able to get blogger to let me comment until
now. It was scary on Sunday morning
for all of us. They have all been in my home before, but not in the B'room.(looking for dead bodies)
I hope you have a lovely Easter with your family. Take care, Love, Merle.
Thanks for the lovely tour of your town. I enjoyed looking at the interesting photos. It looks like a very nice place to live in.
Take care and advance Happy Easter!
lovely pictures, looks like a great place and what a blue sky!
Thanks for the tour.....I love the walking bridge around the water...
How nice to look at these pictures and so interesting ! This old plaque of the "Colony of New South Wales" intriguates me, where there several "States" in Australia ? I always thought it was one unic colony of Great Britain.
Internet is something phantastic, I remember my friend who's son (17) went to Australia in 1972 and there was not even a telephone connection from Belgium ! He disappeared completely and even the Belgian Embassy couldn't do anything. I remember how worried she was. After 2 years of research finally they found a trace of him but then he had disappeared somewhere. Years later she learned that he lived in a Hippie community. It was so very difficult to get in contact with Australia it seemed to be farer then the moon ! and now I am sitting here and can tell you something so important as "it rains outside" and you will know that in a minute ! Isn't that great ?
I haven't been to Yarrawonga in years. It's looking good. Perhaps we should take our son for a couple days visit next week - if we have time.
Thank you for pictures around your home town. I like doing this. I'm doing it in my other blog... http://photoscitymine.blogspot.com/. And now that the weather is being better, I hope to do more of it.
What beautiful weather it looks as if you are having. Oh how lovely! Gray and raining here, today.

Wow!
Thank you for sharing your home town of Yarrawonga with us.
It is beautiful!
We still have snow :(
Huggles and Love,

Gorgeous!!! Beautiful country....love the small town atmosphere the photos say to me!!! Quaint.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Like so many others commenting here, I too haven't been to Yarrawonga for many years, and you have whetted my appetite for a trip up there! You may have a bunch of bloggers on your doorstep one day!! Couldn't get over all the water in the lake - that couldn't possibly be your water supply reservoir...could it?
Hi mum, where did the horse and cart come from. I live in Yarrawonga and have never seen it. Your car looks good though (in the same shot)
Cheers
Donna.
