Week 8 Update: Bendigo may be a winner...


This week we moved from Ararat to Bendigo. Again we found a free campsite with hot showers so that's four good campsites in a row (hope our luck continues). On the first night we had some heavy showers and three weather warnings, one for thunderstorms, winds and hail. Here are a few photos from places last week.

Total km: 7040km; since last week: about 800km 

Places: Bendigo, Bridgewater, Daylesford, Hanging Rock.

Highlights: Bendigo!! the pottery class, the museum, great cafes, friendly people and fishing by the river (for stick fish)

Lowlights: I absolutely hate other campers with unattended dogs.. it so happens that the three dogs next to our campsite are of the little yappy type. I call them "kick-em" dogs because I am always tempted to kick em away and send them flying. Truth is, these dogs are treated better than some humans.

Roadkill count: zero
Fish caught count: also zero...

The view from Dalwhinnie Vineyard. It is situated at the end of Taltarni Rd in the Pyrenees, which boasts three reputable vineyards. Taltarni and Summerfield being the other two.
