Well they all are around here, Bendigo, Daylesford, Ballarat where the miners revolted over licence fee increases at the Eureka (mine) stockade. After leaving Bendigo this morning we climbed into the central highlands, passing through the distinctively unique town of Daylesford with its many handicraft and botique shops. More used to the flat land around the northern Murray riverina, it was a change to be in amongst the hills again. The caravan park we are in on the Western highway is not as nice as the one we left, but it is certainly a lot less pricey than the two BIG4 Caravan Park alternatives here. Road noise is almost a non event, but neighbour noise from the morons in a nearby cabin, whose cretin existence for this drugged drunken and deaf duo, is saturation drinking and saturation music from their car stereo. Let's hope it's only for the weekend - if they last that long.
Went into Ballarat central after we got set up, it's only 5 mins away, and walked through the Bridge Mall and little side malls in this very pretty town. Picked up some fairy Christmas lights from Sams, along with some treats and an unusual looking 4-egg poacher, a second choice to the helicopter I wanted, but that's another story.
It's been a cold day, at one stage we even had the heater on for a while. Daylesford was very chilly and so we didn't hang around there for too long.
