Beechworth & Mt Stanley Day Drive
We met at the Wodonga Plant Farm at 8.30 am and after singing a quick Happy Birthday to Yvonne (at her insistence), Jeff gave a brief outline on the drive for the day. I have since discovered that Yvonne’s actual birthday is not until 15th July!
We left and travelled along Beechworth Road and after taking the detour past the strawberry farm we eventually reached Beechworth and went straight to Lake Sambell for morning smoko.
We left Lake Sambell and headed into Beechworth turning towards Stanley. We took the Myrtleford Road and travelled for some 15 kms down the Buckland Gap, eventually having to do a U turn to turn onto Wells Boundary Track.

Nine vehicle formed the convoy and two more vehicles
