Beechworth Ned Kelly Weekend, 130th Anniversary.
Below are some results from a quick visit to Beechworth in the North of Victoria. This is pretty much how they spend every day up there, mostly because they can't do this over in Yackandandah. I would put something a little more factual here but after the transfer case in the ute started with the noise I turned back toward the mechanics and forgot to pick up all the pamphlets. If anyone would care to give me lots of money for some reason, I could pass this money on to my mechanic. I'm starting to think about getting a modern car even (you know, with computers under the plastic and all that stuff).
Or.. I could move to Beechworth and learn to ride a horse. It does seem the nicer option.
Given that the day in question is a celebration of the Kelly story (Old Ned, not the V8 racing boys), you'd imagine there would be a shot or two of some bearded chappy wearing some bent steel leftover from the farm. But as you'll see, not a one.. such is life.

Kicking back after convicting ol Ned

Truly, a really old original photo, that guy that goes nearly everywhere that I do who is selling Ned Kelly beer must be a time traveller.

Parasol-ing, not parasailing

I'm a little bemused given the bright day what the need would be for a brolly.
Not that one made of lace would stop a lot of water either.
Life must have been quite crazy back in the day.

Nice.. the grass really is greener, although I guess it would be hard to tell from the other side.

There you go Amy, I removed the poster in the reflected building. It annoyed me too.
