Here`s what a perfect day looks like.
A great coffee and breakfast in Beechworth. A wander through town soaking up beautiful granite buildings and golden stories. Stock up on wine and honey, maybe a new dress, maybe a Beesting Bun.
Then, a short drive down the road to @exploreyackandandah. A walk along the creek. Boutique shops and handmade goods from local makers and artisans. And of course, a long lunch at a great country pub.
