House-hunting in Mount Evelyn, then Alexandra

Daylesford + Junee 2023

Another day trip to look at potential new homes. First stop Mount Evelyn, then Alexandra, in Victoria. The house in Mount Evelyn has an impressive view over its curved driveway. In Alexandra, Francis befriended the four chickens: Henny, Penny, Jenny and Karen.

Stopped at Beechworth Bakery, Healsville for pies and what I would label as a custard burger, but is apparently called a “bee sting”.

One of the most beautiful drives we’ve done, incorporating the Black Spur Drive.

Charging

We didn’t charge the night before 🤦‍♂️. Since we arrived a bit early in Alexandra and had to wait somewhere anyway, we plugged into the local Evie Networks charger for a few minutes. I didn’t bother charging on the way back, since we had enough to get home. We arrived back in eastern Melbourne with about 10% battery, which meant we couldn’t enable sentry mode while it was parked on the street overnight. The next morning I charged up at JOLT Charge in Ferntree Gully. I miss having my own garage with a charger.

    1. Linda Mae Reeb yes but I don’t think I have ever experienced them as a custard burger in the sense that the photo illustrates. Usually more subtle in my (limited) experience. 🙂

  3. Black Spur is a great drive. Love the photo of the tall trees - I presume mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans).
