Leaving Melbourne

How did this happen so quickly? Check-out time!

But we still wanted to go to the beach in Melbourne — St. Kilda. It looked nice in the pictures, and I’m sure it would have been… had it not been cold and windy.

It’s true, Melbourne is known for “blessing” you with four seasons in one day. Though this particular day seemed to leave out the sunshine — just like the one before.

Apart from driving lots and lots, not much was happening today. More pie samples, I’m sure. I’m actually wondering whether we had a single day without some kind of pie?

Our campsite for the night, Scrubby Creek Rest Area, was basic and roadside — but honestly, it was pretty nice! It sat in a forested area, tucked away like a little, cosy, protected alcove. I actually think it was one of my favourite campsites of the trip.

Tonight was also a bit warmer than the last campsite before Melbourne. I do wonder whether this was genuinely a night with a pleasant temperature — or whether I was still just slightly cold. Probably the latter. 😅Read more
