After a late start we headed out to take a look at a couple of parks near our current home base. Bald Hills Reserve Bald Hill Reserve is only a few km the other side of Kyneton from us. There isn’t much information about the place and we couldn’t access any map on the webContinue reading “Walks near Kyneton 4/10/22”

Bordertown to Campbell Creek
We started the day with a 6 km walk around the Bordertown lake with Sue. We checked out the local RV parks (the one near the lake looks great) and a couple of sculptures and got in another hour of chatting as we walked. I have limited the pictures here , as the internet isContinue reading “Bordertown to Campbell Creek”
Orchids on the way to Bordertown 22/9/22
As is the way, we weren’t really super organised with the holiday planning, so it was just after 11am before we were on our way. We have a place to stay once we get to our destination, but decided to take the Prado and swags. That way we can stop and camp on the wayContinue reading “Orchids on the way to Bordertown 22/9/22”
Portland to Home 6/8/22
Our last day of holiday took us the remaining 550km or so to home. The day was cold as we walked over to the pub for our continental breakfast included in the cost of the room. As we left the motel we spotted some chicks and mother in the car park – Masked Lapwings! RenownedContinue reading “Portland to Home 6/8/22”
Apollo Bay to Portland 5/8/22
When I look at all we did today I realise why I was worn out in the evening. It wasn’t that there was anything long and hard in it, but just that we were learning and looking and wondering and concentrating and planning the next bit all day. This tends to be the way weContinue reading “Apollo Bay to Portland 5/8/22”
Ferry, Point Lonsdale, walking and Apollo Bay 4/8/22
We were out early and arrived at the ferry terminal over an hour early. The view of the fancy houses with their own stairs and jetties as we pulled out was a treat. We even saw a seal (followed by lots of gulls) having a snack in the water. I managed to catch a veryContinue reading “Ferry, Point Lonsdale, walking and Apollo Bay 4/8/22”
Arthur’s Seat and Balcombe Estuary 2/8/22
We drove to Arthur’s Seat and parked just by the Eagle gondola ride. We had a bit of a look at the ride, and were thinking we might come back and have a go, but in the end decided that we didn’t need to part with over $50 to see the same views we hadContinue reading “Arthur’s Seat and Balcombe Estuary 2/8/22”
Point Nepean 30/7/22
We took a drive down to the tip of the Peninsula to see the Point Nepean area. This area has been significant for its use as a quarantine station and also by the military for training and defence. Both uses have left behind many traces to engage our minds. Once the area was no longerContinue reading “Point Nepean 30/7/22”
Cape Schanck 29/7/22
Today we had a really quiet morning, with a long sleep-in. We took a bit of time to get our bearings around the place and play some table tennis and pool, before starting a jigsaw (The edge is done except to 3 pieces) and doing some shopping for supplies. Since the day was sunny (evenContinue reading “Cape Schanck 29/7/22”
Hamilton to Mornington Peninsula 28/7/22
We made the most of the morning in Hamilton – checking out just a little before 10 and then parking across the road and taking a look at the local botanical gardens. These are the 4th oldest in Australia, and may have lost their fine specimens of monkeys, peacocks and kangaroos, but they do stillContinue reading “Hamilton to Mornington Peninsula 28/7/22”
