Bright, Victoria’s Autumn Capital

$

The beauty of golden leaves spinning through the air with the touch of an invisible breeze, dancing elegantly along the way, murmuring the arrival of autumn, is one of nature’s most beautiful moments. Soon winter will set in and the trees will look naked, bereft of their gaiety but until then they will adorn the streets with their transient beauty. The beauty of autumn, one may find hard to describe with words. But for Melbournians, it is only a three-hour drive through the smooth roads of Hume Freeway to the carpets of gold and crimson to witness the final dance of trees before the icy cold winter. Autumn, for nature is the celebration of good times, and Bright in Victoria should be your destination to witness it.

Named after a British politician, John Bright –  this picturesque village, was a star during Victoria’s gold rush days with the discovery of Gold at nearby Morses Creek and the Ovens River in the 1850’s. As a country town Bright had its good days and bad days. With the diminishing gold reserves, the town’s population dwindled after the 1870’s. The vision of its inhabitants restored the town’s glory as a tourist point due to its proximity to Mount Buffalo. In 1890 Bright was connected by railway to Myrtleford and Wangaratta which gifted its place in the Alpine tourism map. But Gold mining revived in the early 1900’s and bucket dredging left areas of overturned river bed and sludge which created unsightly landscape in many parts of the village. Planting trees was the only solution to bring back Bright’s picturesque beauty.  Along with pine plantations, exotic trees were also planted along the streets which blessed Bright with its Autumn colours which attracts tourists today.

The Bright Autumn Festival is a ten-day celebration of the autumn colours and produce during April and May.

A trip to the Buchan Caves in Victoria

$
0
0

Buchan caves, located around 360km from the Melbourne CBD, will take nearly four hours to reach by car. Starting early morning is important, if you are not planning to stay overnight.

Egg seller on the way

The caves, famous for spectacular limestone formations are the handiwork of mother nature which took millions of years.  The formations inside the cave are created by rain water slipping through cracks in the limestone deposits dissolving it and making a passage. The Royal and Fairy caves which have a length of nearly four kilometres were formed by underground water flows cutting through it.

A Cattle farm on the way

My plan was to start at five o clock in the morning and spend some time at the Lakes Entrance seaside resort and then drive to Buchan. Buchan is nearly 45Km from Lakes Entrance. Driving through the Monash Freeway to the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne then passing through Yarragon, Traralgon, Maffra, Sale, Bairnsdale and Swan Reach. The route was an affirmation of the status of Australia as a farming nation. All the way along the road, there were many apple orchards, blueberry farms and cattle stations.  Placards announcing the sale of Farm picked apples, blueberries and other farm produces were seen all along the road. But egg was the king; with many farms selling eggs at their front gate.  To my surprise there was even an Art Gallery selling farm fresh eggs.

Nicholson River in Gippsland

Melbourne weather forecast for the day was rainy but Buchan had a sunny day with a perfect 18 degrees. It seems, the nasty weather in Melbourne most probably forced many families to stay indoors.  It looked as if the road was reserved exclusively for me, with no other vehicles at sight. This was a motivation was speeding. With a speed limit of 110, the empty roads nearly took the car to touch 180km/h. Soon my grand old man started puffing and panting and even smoking through the bonnet. The moral of the story is always check water and oil before heading for a long drive. It was not pleasant to wait another 45 minutes allowing the car to cool before pouring the water. Though speeding was not the issue here, never go beyond the speed limit unless you are willing to cope a rather large fine, demerit points, license suspension and probably a major accident with tragic consequences.

Lakes Entrance

When I reached near Maffra, I noticed some one waving for the car afar. A hitchhiker. That too an Indian. After all these years, this is the first time I am having an encounter with an Indian hitchhiker in Australia.  A matter for celebration.

I stopped the car. A man in his forties with fair complexion and a carry bag across his shoulders, was staring at  me with his rather large eyes.

 “Good Morning, how are you?” I greeted him before opening my box of curious questions.

“Jai Sree Ram”, he replied.

Most probably an out of place Gosai – That was my first impression.

“Where do you want to go? “

‘Sydney’, He replied.

“This is not the way to Sydney”, I said. Probably he is joking I thought.

“We can go to Sydney from anywhere in Australia”.  He said with a smiling face.

Royal Cave at Buchan

The car moved.  But without him. Definitely an out of place Gosai, I confirmed my observation. But later when I googled, I found myself wrong. This is also a route to Sydney, especially for caravan drivers who wish to visit beautiful scenic townships along the way.

Passing through the Latrobe Valley, with its power stations and hospitals, comes Morwell and Traralgon, with the Gippsland hills proving to be a scenic feast for the eyes. After Rosedale comes Sale, which wants to claim its place as Gippsland’s first city. Melbourne’s urban spread is gradually swallowing once beautiful villages of farming communities. The ugly modern buildings are gracing this beautiful landscape. All along the way road works were going on for widening – an indication of increasing population.

I reached Lakes Entrance by noon. Lakes Entrance has an artificial channel connecting the Gippsland Lakes to the Bass Strait. That explains the name. This is a beautiful piece of land. There are three lookout points on the road to watch the spectacular views of The Entrance. But two of it can be accessed only from the other side of the road. Lakes Entrance is a very popular spot for camping in caravan parks. There was not enough time for me to cover Lakes Entrance and the activities like taking a Camel Safari or sailing.  I headed straight to Buchan for the caves.

Buchan is also blessed with a scenic landscape. The limestones from Buchan are used in some of Melbourne’s landmark buildings like the Royal Exhibition building and the War Memorial. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). (courtesy: Wikipedia) . Millions of years ago Australia was under the sea and that explains the presence of corals and other sea shells that help form the limestone beds.  Most cave systems around the world are formed through limestone bedrock.

This is a must see location for those who have never been to a limestone cave. It is different from anything you have seen above the ground and is completely designed and created by the mother nature, which took millions of years. A big thanks to the man who discovered the fairy caves and shared the news with the world, Frank Moon, as a seven-year-old, discovered one of the caves but kept that as a secret. Till he died at the age of 86, his life was associated with exploring caves and maintaining them. The Royal Cave was opened to public in November 1913 after an entrance tunnel have been driven from the surface and paths and hand rails had been installed. In 1929 an exit tunnel was constructed to avoid the need to retrace one’s steps.

 If we exclude the Aborigines, who had the knowledge of the existence of caves in the area, the first recorded exploration of caves in Buchan by European settlers were made by Stewart Ryrie on 7 April 1840. Since 1840, many explorations were undertaken to unearth the caves. There are more than 400 caves in the area.

Royal Cave and Fairy cave are open to visitors, located at the caves reserve. I am not sure of the best time of the year to visit this place, but during autumn, the reserve and the surroundings create a spectacular display of colourful vegetation.

The caves were beautiful and so was the picturesque villages on the way. It is getting late and I have to drive back to Melbourne another 4 hours through the barren roads and I have to cope heavy rain at least half the way as the forecast for Melbourne today is “Thunderstorm and heavy rain”.

About International Yoga Day


International Day of Yoga is celebrated every year on 21 June since its inception in 2015. An international day for yoga was declared unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly on 11 December 2014.

21st June was suggested by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as it is the longest day of the year in Northern Hemisphere. From the perspective of yoga, the summer solstice marks the transition to Dakshinayana. The first full moon after summer solstice is known as Guru Poornima.

Lord Shiva, has many manifestations and he is considered as the first Yogi. Lord Shiva is believed to have imparted the knowledge of Yoga to humankind on this day.

Dakshinayana is also considered a time when there is natural support for those pursuing spiritual practices.

The first Yoga day was observed on 21 June 2015.


Yoga in a nutshell


What is Yoga?

In Sanskrit language, the word yoga comes from the root ‘yuj’ which means “to add” or “to join”. Yoga is a practise that unify the physical, mental and spiritual activities of a person to ensure both physical and mental health.


Two main types of Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga  – Yoga as described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali refers to Ashtanga yoga

shtanga yoga literally means “eight-limbed yoga,” . and it has eight spiritual practises to attain Yogi state.

Yama [moral codes]

Niyama [self-purification and study]

Asana [posture]

Pranayama [breath control]

Pratyahara [sense control]

Dharana [concentration]

Dhyana [meditation]

Samadhi [absorption into the Universal]
