Benalla (supposed to be Benalta but someone forgot to cross
the t when the town’s name was registered – it’s true) and Shepparton were the
closest towns to Emu Plains. According to to the tourist office in Benalla
it was also one of the places where Ned Kelly was jailed.
Shepparton has a really nice little art gallery with the most
realistic sculpture of a woman and child you are ever likely see – it was
produced from a mould but nevertheless brilliant. The gallery also a lot
work from graduating art students and sells art work. No guesses for what
I did then. Anyway, surrounding gallery are lots of cows ...
    Monuments to the first world war
  More cows
  So cows figure highly in Shepparton, although the area is
known or its fruit. This would make a great Christmas card so don’t be
surprised if you received one of these one year.
 Not sure what Annie is up to here.
  Stopped in Shepparton at this cafe called Cupcakes, I wonder
why?
 We spent a pleasant half hour trying to figure out the names
of the film stars.
  Benalla also had a small art gallery with nice little cafe and
veranda overlooking small lake – this one wasn’t selling anything but
coffee.
