and that's just the one's from my memory, which is way too hazy.
I'd add to the list, but I'd have to get out the road maps and make the list up. and work out a length of time you had to be there to have been there. does driving through count, or do you have to stop? overnight, or just for pastries at the bakery?

I think there are two towns called Maryborough, one is in QLD, cause i went there a few years ago with a friend, and the other one i have no idea about. Wangaratta is a north-eastern town in Victoria. My mum grew up there and her parents and brothers still live there so i have been there LOTS! It's right next to Albury/Wodonga

Yup, it's on the Hume Highway and it's kinda well known for being near the last place where Ned Kelly was before he was caught
