Benalla is a lovely little town in Victoria about 2 hours north of Melbourne - a short distance form the Hume Freeway. The stand out attraction during our visit to Benalla was the street art - murals that have been pained on the side of about 12 buildings in town. There are three faces on the side of the SEC building in main street (Bridge Street) which are huge and amazing. My favourite is the sugar glider created on the wall of the Commercial Hotel which was quite spectacular after dark with the large brown/black eyes of this Australian marsupial starring at you. These paintings were created in March 2015 during the Wall to Wall Street Art Festival - they hope to make this an annual event.
We were able to ride our bikes from the Benalla Gateway Lifestyle Tourist Village (where we parked the caravan) and visit some of the attractions in town -
Benalla is close to wineries, Lake Winton, Glenrowan (famous for Ned Kelly's last stand), Mt Buller Snow fields, Beechworth etc. What a great spot to base yourself and explore this wonderful part of Victoria.
