Our pre retirement trial trip- day 51
212km Walpeup to Charlton Vic
The aim today was to experience a night at the Rex. Job done ✔️
Thankfully we survived the overnight rain without floating away or getting bogged 🌧️🌧️🌧️
Now planning our few days in VIC before we meet up with friends next week.
We have frequently driven through Charlton and would have loved to visit the old cinema 🎥. Well now we can, there is a movie showing today and we have nowhere else to be.
And we were very excited that our journey to Charlton would take us through Birchip, so we could treat ourselves to their awesome vanilla slice. What we didn’t factor in was the Saturday early closing hours so no treat for us 🙄 and no fresh muffins for dinner either 🤷🏼♀️
We did get to see the big mallee bull though 🐂
There was nothing much happening in Charlton on a Saturday arvo so we enjoyed an afternoon running 🏃🏼, reading 📖 and generally chilling until our evening movie at the Rex Theatre.
The Rex has been community owned since 2007 and is run wholly by volunteers and is an amazing place to watch a movie 🎞️🍿🍦🥤
We have missed going to the pictures and have lots of movies we want to catch up on
What we have NOT missed is the weather or the roads in VIC, both are rubbish and the worse we have experienced during our trip so far🥺
Our home for the night is the Travellers Rest Caravan Park- the RV (self contained) section
