Beechworth

We had another weekend in Beechworth for the Queens Birthday weekend this year, a caravanning adventure accompanied by Marcia and some of their friends.  It was a beautiful weekend with cool nights, and lovely clear days.

On one of our days up there, we visited the town of Chiltern which is a beautifully preserved historic town and which boasts the only working Linotype machine in Australia.  The two people running it showed us and our boys exactly how it worked.  It was fascinating.  So much work involved!

They also printed a few pages on their old printing press.
