$30 Date Night in Bushfire Country

Easter time – I decided to take Emma into a small Country town in Victoria for a $30 date idea. In the summer that just passed, the state of Victoria was hit with some major bush fires – affecting large regions.

We stopped off at Beechworth in Victoria (Australia). They call it
Ned Kelly country… a well documented outlaw in the late 1800’s.

Beechworth, like many other small towns rely on tourism for their economy – after the bushfires the towns are now suffering from lack of tourism. I thought my $30 will help…

Ok, so $30 is not a major contribution to the town’s economy but the experience was a brilliant contribution to our week. Great food… brilliant autumn weather and a bottle of wine which included cheese and crackers. And best of all… the bill came under $40 – amazing!

I love the country towns of Victoria – you must get out there and take a look around. Especially now in the autumn period! The produce is so

good – and the locals are lovely! The store owner of the deli store we had lunch in chat with us the entire time we were there! You don’t see that happen in Melbourne!
