The Small Town of Lal Lal in Victoria
** Late posting
Written in January 2020, before pandemic days...
About 108 kilometers from Melbourne is the small town of Lal Lal. It is a laid-back town that takes you back in time, to the days, as Streisand would sing, "when life was slow, and oh, so mellow."
What is there to see at Lal Lal? At the junction where two country roads meet is a cluster of improvised mail boxes, waiting for the mailman.
After the bend and right after the old railroad crossing are wind turbines standing side by side with bales of hay. The soft swishing sound created by the wind turbines can be heard.
And at the town reserve, you feel the gentle wind as you take a look at an ancient gorge with steep rocky walls.
Then you suddenly remember that you have to rush back to the city to fetch the kids in school. See u again, Lal Lal.
