Just before Christmas, we headed to Beechworth for a few days, en route to Wagga...the weather was splendid, the birds were out, and we thought COVID was going to give us a break...it was a delightful trip. We chose to stay a short distance out of Beechworth at the Serena Cottages, Wooragee. New territory for us.

Mount Donna Buang is an easy drive from Melbourne and even easier if you go via the delightful township of Warburton where several cute cafes servie tempting fare. And what's the best way to counter that temptation? ​Yep, we gave in and shared a flourless orange cake and really enjoyed that guilty pleasure. Luckily we were heading for a challenging walk - more of that shortly.
