Hi
All
We
had a change of heart and stayed at Green Hill Lake free camp near
Ararat instead of Halls Gap, we did day trips to Stawell, Dadwells
Bridge where the big Koala lives, then we got on the dirt roads and
went to Roses Gap, Halls Gap, Mt William and Jimmy's creek camp
ground and then head back through Moyston.
There
are lots of great views overlooking the Grampians along these roads
we also picked up some wood for the fire pit back at camp, because we
where going to cook a damper for the first time and have a few drinks
with the nice people we have met up with in the camp.
We
are now in Hamilton and today we took a drive to the falls Wannon
Falls and Nigretta Falls and both had water flowing over the falls,
we
also stopped at Coleraine where they have an old Train Station that
now house's the Information Centre and some old pictures and notes
from the past.
We
have been to the Ansett Museum in Hamilton as this is were Reginald
Ansett was born and grew up, he started offering to take passengers
from Hamilton to Ballarat in his Studebaker, by 1935 he had a fleet
of vehicles travelling to Melbourne, Mount Gambier, Naracoorte and
Warnambool then a year later the first Ansett flight took to the
skies a must see if you are in Hamilton Victoria.
We
stayed at Meredith free camp just east of Colac for a night and it
blew a gale, we then moved onto Geelong and had another look round
town and I did a bit fishing with no luck again! I then took my metal
detector to the Eastern beach but also no luck only found tent pegs
and bottle tops will try again some other morning that all for now.
We
are flying up to Townsville for Christmas on Thursday 19 Dec so I will
restart blog in New Year
So
we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for both of us.
