Healesville has Humanity. Wow. Just wow. Tired, hungry, frustrated and no lunch. Bus only leave lake Eildon in morning and had to get down later in the day. Got a ride with a friend and then hitched a ride from Buxton. Arrived healesville about 10:45 and had just missed the last bus.

To avoid having to desperately dig through the bins for a bite to eat, i went to Coles who's staff though they may have wanted to help and I had the $$. Company policy restrained them.

Unfortunately it was a terrble coffee too, beans burnt and we just let it go. I had high hopes but was completely let down. Sorry but i wont be coming back. If you get your pastry more firm and you coffee All...
Read moreWhilst journeying through Healesville, I did first take my leave at the famed Beechworth Bakery, only to be sorely disappointed. The pies were dry as dust and utterly bereft of flavour—a most joyless feast, unworthy of the name.
Yet providence smiled, for I soon discovered Wild Grain Bakery, where true pie-making doth endure. Their crusts are golden, their fillings rich and savoury, and the service—delightful and swift, as though the staff were born to serve with cheer. If thou art a traveller in search of the finest pies, look no further: Wild Grain Bakery is thy...
