Maggie waving goodbye as she disappears into the bowels of the Bendigo Woolen Mill Shop.

Heading to a caravan park here if she ever comes out again. Grin

On the map the red is our trip so far.

Hi Derek
Thankyou for the photographs I am enjoying being the
"arm chair traveller" Grin

I also see that the wool store has a "Hubby seat" out the front.
I would be happy with that arrangement . Cheesy

keep on enjoying.

Definitely a Grandpa seat that one Kevvie.

Well Maggie eventually came out and this is home for the next three nights at the Park Lane Holiday Park, Bendigo.

Forgot it was school holidays and had a hard time finding a park to get into.

Very wet underfoot and had difficulty getting on the site.

I consulted Dr Google for the best fish n chip shop in Bendigo and it came up with the results.

Picked the closest one.

When I got home the food rated four out of ten. Undecided

Getting very disillusioned with fish n chip shops in general.

After a pleasant three days in Bendigo we made it to Green Hill Lake just outside of Ararat.

Drove through and visited some amazing little towns between here and Bendigo. Most of them very unique and charming. Some of the architecture is amazing.

Like all of Victoria it is very wet here at present so hopefully we can drive out ok tomorrow.

We are parked up pretty close to the water and the view through our very dirty bedroom window is terrific. I am looking forward to the sun setting later.

I have always admired the wind turbines. For me they are a thing of beauty. This, even though it was only taken with my phone has to be one of the better photos I have taken this trip.

Second one is the sunset from our bedroom window.
