Dunny n' shed tour



If you're thinking of driving from Sydney to Melbourne (or vice versa) and can do it in two days, then you have a million options that are available. Driving along the coast takes you past some beautiful seaside towns, a whale museum, plenty of cheese shops, and if you take your surfboard you'll get some of the best breaks in Aus.

Another option is going inland. The Hume highway must be one of the most boring roads in the world as it now bypasses pretty much everything, you'll even bypass 10 hours of your life if you don't jump off the highway to appreciate the fact you're in the heart of Australia's farming region.

So my suggestion is, if you're going the inland route, do it over two days and jump off the Hume. Get into some of the old towns and see what you're missing out on. Get a vanilla slice, have a pie and watch a country footy match (honking your horn when a goal is scored is a must).

One town that I'd like to visit it Lockhart. It's classified by the National Trust,which is great and I'm sure is a reason in istelf, but what I really want to see is what's in the picture above - a Dunny 'n shed tour!

If you're a vistor from overseas and wondering what in the world that might be, here are two links for you: Dunny. Shed.
