New at my Patreon... Every year at the end of March, the sleepy gold rush town of Clunes is invaded by book lovers from around Australia. They're heading to the Clunes Booktown Festival, a mammoth celebration of books which takes over the town. Here's what it's like:

A collage from a country town, including a typical First World War memorial with a stark white statue of a standing soldier with gun, on a tapered grey stone column
Weekend road trip, stop 2: #Clunes details. The pillar on the hill commemorates Victoria’s first gold discovery in July 1851 (rumours that it was actually before statehood, in 1850…) The WWI memorial cost £450 in 1920, ~$40,000 today(!)

Weekend road trip, stop 2: the substantial town of #Clunes, with the odd gold rush building here and there - one quarter of Victoria’s gold came from here.
Orange juice and tea.
The morning after. Having a chill start to the day. Hoping to do some tourist stuff, and then tomorrow, it’s back to Adelaide.
Thanks to every reader I had the opportunity to meet.

A church in Clunes, there's book inside for sale!
Only took a few photos around Clunes today, was too busy looking at old books. Such a lovely place, untouched by developers.
Booktown is on tomorrow, well worth the drive! I didn't buy all the books, there's still plenty there to choose from.
