The scenery continues to provide a photo opportunity every time we stop to drop a line, lots of photos, still no fish! Saw a giant Mantaray today, suspect he hoovered our fish.
Back to the mainland.

After far too short a stay in Tassie, we're heading back to Ballarat and Bendigo for a spot of gold fossicking. Anticipate finding tonnes of gold and becoming rich overnight!

Exact location top secret! Learning to use our new Gold Monster detector. Alex prospecting, I'm on lookout for slithery things. My job involves less beeping.
ПутешественникSo which of the two is more profitable. Looking for slither things or gold?
ПутешественникWe haven't found either yet, so it's even - although the equipment for fossicking costs, my beady eyes come for free!

A toothache and 6hrs in Bendigo hospital for Alex. Home now for a quiet night in. A walk around the property offered up the standard great photo opportunities.

ПутешественникWas horrible! Had to go into hospital again at 7am and have the abcess lanced. Feel like I've been kicked in the head! Or perhaps Julie did when she couldn't get to sleep........
Talbot, VIC boomtown,... then bust.

Sometimes it's those spur of the moment left-hand turns that lead to a nice surprise. Talbot, once a bustling goldrush town, boomed in the 1880's - everyone was gone by 1890.
