i'm heading off to maffra monday morning at 04:00. i try to have a more positive attitude towards it. in preparation to head off to the country first time in my life (also by myself), i came across the Gippsland Plains Country Road tourism information page. maffra is not that bad (if i weren't working with cattle compulsorily)
Maffra:
- wide range of information about district
- home of the Pino Deriu gemstone and mineral collection (did someone say gemstone?)
- local arts and crafts on display and for sale (cool, always wanted to go to a gallery, dave wouldn't)
- packaged tours arranged for visitors or tour operator
- wide range of souvenirs
- latest heritage historical publications
Things To Do:
-
take a 4WD tour: overland gold adventures (unfortunately i'm driving 1300cc vvti echo)- adventure action (hrmm, i'd do it if dave were here, honest)
- visit a gallery (if it's still open when i'm off, for sure)
- shop for antiques (i'll do anything starts with "shop for")
- visit a winery (yeah, why not)
- attend one of our events (no time...)
- participate in a wide range of sports (maybe not)
- book a gold panning session (haha, i would, seriously! sounds fun; and if i do go to africa one day, i'd be panning diamonds!!)
maffra is not that bad at all, just the fact that it's compulsory and i've to work, on top of being by myself at night really depresses me and takes the beauty of australian country away. but hey, it's a good place if i take a step back. so i say "go for it"
