welcome to Sale
Gippsland's First City
The Aboriginal name for the Sale area was Wayput.
Two famous Gippsland explorers, Paul Strzelecki and Angus McMillan, passed through the immediate area around 1840.
The first white settler was Archibald McIntosh who arrived in 1844 and established his 'Flooding Creek' property on the flood plain country which was duly inundated soon after his arrival.
In the 1840s, drovers heading south to Port Albert crossed Flooding Creek and were confronted with the difficult marsh country around the Thomson and Latrobe rivers.
A punt operated across the Latrobe River until a toll bridge was erected. A Post Office named Flooding Creek opened here on 30 September 1848 being renamed, somewhat belatedly, as Sale on 1 January 1854
The Historic Swing Bridge is well worth a visit.
Thankssss for the cache beetles2

S is for Sarajevo. Although I was in initially going to choose San Fran cause I’ve got lots of nice photos from there, Sarajevo is a better choice for someone like me who has stories to tell. I’ve stayed twice. I get irritated when people describe someone who has travelled widely as “lucky”. Fortunate maybe, but it’s rarely lucky. It’s working hard and choosing to spend your money on travel, often as a trade off for fancy cars, houses and “things” in preference for experiences. I was deeply moved during my first visit to Sarajevo, so it was an easy decision to return. I did a walking tour each visit. The first was lead by a guy in his 30s who was a child during the war. He told so many stories that I wouldn’t have believed had I not been there to see his face and witness the emotion. He showed his physical scars from taking a bullet. As we walked down sniper alley, he told of his mother working as a nurse insanely long hours of each day and night. Of his dad who, like almost all men his age, can no longer stand upright, after being hunched over in 1m high tunnels for years. This man, as a young boy, got bored one night and slipped a sleeping tablet into his grandmother’s tea. Once she was asleep, he snuck out and got hit in the leg by a sniper. We stopped to see remaining roses in the concrete. When a fatality had occurred, people would risk further loss of life by melting red wax into the puck in the concrete when they collected the body. As you walk around Sarajevo today, many faded red roses remain as a reminder of the horrendous time in history of these two beautiful countries. Like many other countries who have endured war during my lifetime, the economic costs remain visible too. There’s no money to repair buildings so many remain littered with divots from being frequently hit by bullets. May we all learn lessons from these times and may the children of a Melbourne make the most of their two hours of exercise outdoors. Particularly for those living in apartment style accommodation, this must be an incredibly challenging time. There’s no fancy “Welcome to Sarajevo” sign, at least not one that I saw, so I’ve attached a sign of the times.
Welcome to Seymour, would be nice to have a trip up that way.
Maybe soon.
Thanks to Beetles2 for this Welcome to S opportunity.

Seppeltsfield is a locality in South Australia on the western side of the Barossa Valley. It is also the location of the historic Seppeltsfield winery. At the 2016 Australian census, Seppeltsfield had a population of 138.
Seppeltsfield was established in 1852 when Joseph Ernst Seppelt bought land and moved there after having migrated from Lower Silesia to South Australia in 1849. He attempted to grow tobacco, then grew corn, wheat and grapes.
