Last Day in Mansfield

It was very cold last night, but ended up being a warm sunny day. We had breakfast at the Produce Store, despite not having made a booking. It was warm enough to sit outside with Bluey.

My French toast with berries and maple syrup was lovely.

The Produce Store building is interesting with a high timber ceiling, supported by decorative hardwood angle brackets resting on brick supports.

These fabulous tiles decorate the Commercial Hotel, which is probably of the Art Deco era.

Our next food stop was the Alpine Patisserie for rustic soughdough bread and a couple of delicious pastries. We refuelled the Toyota at the very busy BP truck stop on Mt Buller Rd. At the nearby Summit Outfitters, I bought a new raincoat in anticipation of a trip to Europe. One of my GorTex raincoats has a faulty zip, and the elastic in the other one is no longer elastic. I have pondered how to repair these, but so far, I have not come up with any solution.

Tilly has enjoyed long periods out in the afternoon sun, and tolerated pats from small children who had never touched a cat before. European wasps are a problem here. One flew into the car while I was packing things away. Hopefully, it left when I opened all doors.

We had dinner at Honcho’s, which describes itself as modern Mexican x Australian fuelled by fuego. Our food was tasty, and the decor pleasant except for the red lights in the toilets!
