During a recent trip from Maryborough to Halls Gap (The Grampians) in Victoria we called into the lovely little town of Avoca for morning tea. As we like to spread our support for small shops we purchased a sausage roll from Shear Delights Bakery on the main street – delicious (best one for ages). We then enjoyed a coffee from the baker across the road at Pyrenees Pies – takeaway and pie shop with a range of interesting pies – crocodile, emu etc.
There are plenty of park spaces along this very wide street when towing a caravan and a short walk to check out some of the local shops and historical buildings There are also parking spaces in the median strip. Nice clean public toilets are available in the middle of the median strip – interesting sculptures and flower gardens in various locations.
The Visitor Information Centre can be found at 122 High Street (main road) and is well signposted (P: 1800 206 622 or 03 54 651000). There is a small caravan park within walking distance to town and the local hotel. Avoca is a great place to spend a few days while exploring some of the local wineries.
