tatura

Sometimes when travelling from point A to point B you just have to stop and smell the roses or in this case take a photo.   This is just out of Tatura Vic.  We left Melbourne on a gloomy but clear day.  As we headed out the freeway the fog became thicker and thicker.  We were still enveloped in fog as this picture shows just a few K's out of Tatura but as we came into the town mid morning the day was clear.  

Cold but clear.

David had a job in Tatura and still being on holidays I decided to accompany him.   David went off to do his thing and I headed into town.  I had an early lunch at the local bakery and then I did a bit of exploring.  It wasn't long before nature called.  On my way out of the toilet block I noticed the huge unusual flowers that were in a raised flower bed by the entrance.  There were white ones and purple.  The plant seemed all flower with a few 'cabbage leaves' supporting them.  Beautiful

On our way home we had a bit of time up our sleeves so we had a bit of a look around Murchison.  Now that is one seriously nice town.  The sign on the way into Murchison stated a population of 763.  Hard to believe considering the size of the town. 
Apart from needing a bit of a spruce up we found these locals very accommodating.
