Yarraville

I would have liked to explore Melbourne a bit more, but, unfortunately, Southeast Australia’s biggest storm in a decade was headed eastwards to Victoria after dumping a lot of rain on South Australia. We decided to beat a quick retreat westwards and hopefully encounter only a fraction of the worst of the storm as it rolled eastwards.

We set out from Melbourne after the rush hour. Our first stop was Yarraville, where we had breakfast. After that, we headed towards Geelong and then to the coast. Along the way, we stopped for ice cream and then at a chocolate factory which appeared to have opened only recently. A sign outside promised oompa loompas, but I was severely disappointed to see ordinary workers in brown uniforms making the magic chocolate. Overall, this shop was a tourist trap.
