Rutherglen

There is no WyFi in this small town. Rutherglen was establised in 1860 because of the gold rush in the area. Most of the buildings are over 100 years old. The primary school was built in the early 1900's and is still used. No bond issues trying to tear it down and build another one to keep up with the other school districts! The B@B that we are staying in used to be the bank - still has the safe in the dining room. The Victoria Hotel, next door is 140 years old. It is a lot of fun to see so many old buildings that have been kept up. We see a lot of the English influence here - not much "take away" haven't seen anything in styrofoam yet.

We toured wineries with two other couples yesterday on the wine bus - leave the driving to them! Today we are riding bicycles for awhile - maybe a winery, but not much while on peddle power. It was 42 celcius yesterday which is about 110 our temp - much cooler today - Yea!

I am on a computer at the information center - so it does not recognize my camera card - will have to send pictures when we get to the big city of Melbourne - I expect they will have WyFi there. Had to pay for this 15 minutes and it is almost up -taking lots of pictures!
