BENDIGO

We awoke to another great day, had cereal & blackberries for breakfast and drove the 40 odd kms 
into Bendigo, which is really quite a large town now! We eventually found our destination - the
showgrounds where we intend to stay until Wednesday morning when we will leave for Bridgewater on the Loddon River, which was flooded in January like the rest of northern Victoria, so I suspect

this flood damage is what we will be helping the farmers with when we get there. Met two couples here at the showgrounds, one couple from Queensland who are traveling in a large bus, and another younger couple arrived this afternoon from Woodville in S.A. (they have rented their house out and have bought a newer but smaller Winnebago to travel around in, they also intend to do some work on the way). Great weather here this afternoon as you can see from the photo and they also had a market day here today, so of course Lesley was happy! Cost for powered site here is $20/night, so we booked for three nights.
