Day 2 Friday 11th January 2013 Bendigo We wake to the smell of the bush and a summer morning with the prospect of a very hot 40˚ day ahead. Breakfast over we have a ‘pommie’ shower* and a quick pack up, which is pretty easy considering that, for safety purposes, we didn’t unhitch last night. Once again bushfires are predicted and strong northerly winds have been forecasted, you can feel it in the air, so we decide to move to the Bendigo Showgrounds in Holmes Road. For a small fee, we’ll be in a safe spot and be able to … Continue reading Lost and Found

We pull up at Bruthen Bakery for more sustenance and then drive through to the Heyfield RV Stop as those who aren’t in a hurry to get home want to see what we’ve been raving about. We’re quite surprised at the number of campers here and even the footy ground section has been opened to camping. Of course, we swell the numbers by another 6 vans. We soon learn that there’s been a timber festival in town. What … Continue reading A Marlo Muster, the return leg
Day 8 Sunday 20/2/22 Marlo, 31 by mid-morning This town and the caravan park are winning us over. I walk up to the river mouth lookout and chat with a couple from Camperdown, in the west of the state, they … Continue reading A Marlo Muster, and a pub with a view
