Gypsies Forever

March 3, 2014 by Emma

Eight days exploring, some already well known familiar trails, some new to me, some untraced since Matt’s childhood.

We followed our noses from Horseyard Flat, to Talbotville, to Wonangatta, through the hills to the Dargo high plains overlooking Mount Hotham, down the mountains, winding our way through the old mining towns along Haunted Stream, where once upon a time thousands of people tried their luck for gold, and a mere twenty years ago an inquisitive little blonde boy explored the creek and it’s surrounds.

Just me and him, him and me, plus our Blueberry baby-to-be. Possibly our last adventure as just two gypsies, before we become three.

Home again, home again, jiggedy jig…

    Oh I love the High Country especially around the Wonangatta valley. Exploring the old homestead site and cemetary, it’s so isolated there. Lovely that you could get away before bubs arrival! Your photos are amazing too! 🙂

    I have only explored a teeny bit of the High Country but am absolutely in love! What a wonderful place to spend time together before Blueberry joins you on the outside.

    Beautiful pictures. Love the one of the old shack. My husband and I took a couple weekend trips the summer before my daughter was born. It was good that we did because we definitely didn’t do it for several months post-birth! Enjoy this time!
