St Arnaud

This morning I took a trip to St Arnaud, a nice town with a number of older buildings.  The main reason I headed out there was to visit Autralia’s only bible museum.  They have an amazing collection of bibles and associated artifacts, including some beautiful illumination and decorated covers.   They also have a butterfly garden, and they breed butterflies to release back into the wild.   It was a beautiful spot, with butterflies fluttering everywhere.
