Having not seen my brother in years thanks to the pandemic, he finally made it out to Melbourne for a visit. I decided to show him around regional Victoria where I spend a heap of time, more specifically Beechworth and the surrounding area.

We stayed in the Marlo Cottage, which housed Beechworth historical photographer J E Bray who took the famous portraits of the Ned Kelly Gang. Equipped with not much more than a spontaneous attitude, we asked the locals to recommend us a few things to see / do and eat. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable and cosy two nights stay, my brother being a chef naturally wanted to cook the first night so we ate a home cooked meal and sat soft in front of the fireplace.

We spent the mornings next door at the neighbouring cafe, smashed a coffee / food and explored the forests and waterfalls in the area. We even snuck in a movie night with popcorn and snacks, and of course the film had to be "True History of the Kelly Gang" hah. A great stay for both of us, we would love to get back and do it all over again soon!
