Visited Jimmy and Maggie, went to the Sportsman Tavern for dinner to celebrate jimmies birthday the week before.
Maggie and I went for a drive around Port Pirie to revisit my old schools and kindergarten, the kindy and Airdale primary school haven't changed much but Risdon Park high school was knocked down years ago.Läs mer

Dag 2
Three states in one day
3 april 2022, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Left Port Pirie after a beautiful still morning and headed to Mildura.
Had to stop at the fruit quarantine bin and put a few grapes in that we couldn't eat after we'd bought a bag plus a couple of bananas for the road today!
Lovely drive day, arrived in Mildura after having a quick lunch stop in Renmark.
Followed a cattle road train that was swaying all over the road for the last hour.
Got to Mildura and then crossed the river into NSW to stay at the caravan Park in Gol Gol.
Went for a walk along the river and millionaires road - wow some beautiful houses along the river front.Läs mer

Dag 3
Welcome to Ballarat
4 april 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Left Gol Gol at 7:45 am after being offered a drive through site as a bonus as there was no one in the site behind us. It seemed a long drive day and take most of the day to get to Ballarat and set up.
Nice caravan Park but looks like we got a schools group in about 25 tents coming in tomorrow opposite us- see the pic of all their 2 person tents!
Went to the train station to organise our tickets into Melbourne later in the week and then a nice pub meal at the Red lion hotel.Läs mer

Dag 4
Sovereign Hill - What a day!
5 april 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
A beautiful but fresh morning, we went for a walk around Lake Esmond just behind the caravan park.
Then onto Sovereign Hill for the day.
Did the Red Hill Mine Tour first up and that was great.
Then later in the day watched a gold pouring
Demonstration where we were shown how they melted down and poured a 3kg boulion worth $250,000. This demo was fantastic.
Walked all over Sovereign Hill checking out all the displays which were just brilliant and so informative by the staff.
We ended the day with a 45 minute underground mine tour that went 100m deep showing how and where some of the original miners mined in Ballarat.Läs mer

Dag 5
Old Melbourne Gaol
6 april 2022, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Up early and caught the 7:45 train into Melbourne to go visit the Old Melbourne Gaol.
Train service was fantastic and super fast arriving in Spencer St train station. Just a short stroll into Federation square where we stopped off to see the seven metres in diameter moon featuring detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface hanging on display. Interesting but not much information with it.
Walked another km down the road until we came to the Old Melbourne Gaol where we spent the next few hours wandering through the cells and city watch house partly guided and partly self guided using an app.
Lots of info on Ned Kelly's last days. Very interesting.
Was disappointed in Melbourne itself. So much of Southbank was closed. Businesses had just shut up shop and looked like had walked away.
Grand prix on this weekend, not advertised any where. A couple of F1 stalls on Southbank and so we looked it up and found out on Sunday.
So much graffiti all over Melbourne, seemed dirty, Graffiti City - was not an inviting city.Läs mer

Dag 6
Ballarat to Daylesford
7 april 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
A brisk 6km walk around Lake Wendouree this morning followed by a stroll through the beautiful Botanical gardens where the Begonia festival had just finished. The gardens were stunning.
Then onto Daylesford holiday park for an overnight stay.
After setting up and having some lunch we went for another lovely walk around Lake Daylesford, not quite as big a lake at only 2.4km around but just as lovely.
Dinner at the Royal Daylesford Hotel and then back to se how Port Adelaide fares!Läs mer

Dag 7
Another day in beautiful Daylesford
8 april 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Daylesford was so unexpectedly relaxing and beautiful that we decided to stay another night.
We went for another walk around Lake Daylesford this morning before heading to Trentham for lunch at an artisan bakery and then onto Trentham Falls which were lovely.
We stopped at the Chocolate Mill at Mount Franklin on the way back to Daylesford in the afternoon for some sweet treats to take back to the caravan for later.
Another walk heading off from the caravan Park, this time to see some of the mineral springs in the area got our step count up for the day.
Seeing the trees turning their autumn colours in the area was just stunning.Läs mer

Dag 8
Bendigo -Marong Big 4 Holiday Park
9 april 2022, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Left Daylesford in overcast and slightly drizzly weather and headed to Bendigo.
Stopped off at Gilford on the way to check out "The Big Tree" it has a circumference of over 12m and is over 500 years old. Certainly a very impressive looking tree. Through Castlemaine where we stopped off for a coffee and purchased some lovely food at the bakery for our dinner tonight.
Onto Bendigo where we set up in the Marong holiday park a few KMs just out of Bendigo. We have been given a lovely big site at the back of the park under a nice shady tree. Very happy to be staying a few nights here.
The weather fined up so back to Castlemaine to visit the Botanical gardens which were lovely to walk around.Läs mer

Dag 9
A day around Bendigo
10 april 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
A morning under ground tour of Central Deborah Gold Mine started our day today.
This was a very informative 45 minute tour taking us 61 metres below ground level and showing us through the old mine.
Back at ground level we finished looking at the mine before hopping on the talking tram for a ride around the city. The tram stopped at several points of interest where we could get off and have a look around.
We stopped off in the city centre where I went to the Chinese gardens ( while Rob shopped at JB hi-fi!).
The gardens were smaller than I thought but still pretty.
Back on the tram and onto Lake Wendouree where we hopped off and walked around the lake in the warm sunshine.
Back on the tram for the return journey and commentary to end our afternoon.Läs mer

Viva Bendigo
11 april 2022, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
A visit to the Elvis exhibition in Bendigo today, interesting but not really worth the high entry fee.
Lots of exibits from very early in his life, including a box of his crayons, his school library card, the family letterbox. Then dresses of some of the actress's that played opposite him in some movies. The car was cool, one he bought in Hawaii and then it became part of a movie he filmed there at the time. There were also alot of his clothes from when he enlisted to different movies he was in and both his and Pricilla's wedding outfits. Not as much about his music as I thought would have been there.

Then a walk around the Bendigo Botanical gardens, again absolutely beautiful, with a small bird aviary inside housing several different breeds of birds. The gardens had both flowering beds and georgeous mature trees many of which were going through their autumn change. Huge magnolia trees with hundreds of buds on them about to bloom in the next few weeks and which will look stunning when they do.Läs mer
