We had a lovely drive every where you go around these parts is just country roads and the scene are just beautiful...
We traveled through Harrietville...which is a former gold-mining town, located 25 kilometres south of Bright on the Great Alpine Road and at the base of Mount Feathertop in the scenic Victorian Alps.
The town is particularly attractive in autumn when the blazing colours of its large variety of deciduous trees creates a spectacular display.
The Ovens River meanders through Harrietville, lined with attractive parks including Pioneer Park which features a museum and displays of the region's history.
10 kilometres north of Harrietville on the Great Alpine Road is the small community of Smoko. This town is appropriately named after the several large tobacco farms which used to line the road and Ovens River on its journey through a picturesque valley surrounded by berry farms, nut plantations, forests and mountains.
We stopped and had morning tea here at a tiny little cafe on the side of the river...and I must say I had the best blueberry muffin I have every tasted...all home made...we will definitely return to this spot again... before we leave..
Heading off up to Mt Hotham the views were amazing ...
As you go around the mountain you can see the road way ahead winding...
