Great to see you following our adventure J.B. - hope everybody wellat Galipo. Looks like you came back from New Zealand just in time heh?
Today we drove the 22 kms into Geelong, but they got parking metres everywhere, so we drove around the waterfront and ended up parking up the road a couple of kms from the city centre, alongside the Botanical Gardens. Left Daisy in Lucky Pigs to have a rest while we walked into Geelong. I needed to buy a new piece of wire rope and catch for the Suzuki A-Frame brake cable as
the original one had broken the first day we left Adelaide. After looking around the Westfield shopping centre we returned to Lucky Pigs, went and refueled across the road from "Skilled Stadium" (Home ground of GEELONG AFL club - you would've loved it Scott!) We managed to get Diesel for $1.38.9, as everywhere else was around $1.42, we then took off north west up the Midland Highway to a little town called Meredith, where we stopped for a coffee break. Just up the road we turned off the highway at a town called Elaine
and traveled up this narrow bitumen & dirt road to a bush camp called
"Hunts Bridge Camping ground"(photo). Nice remote little spot by the Moorabool River.
Two young overseas backpackers were also camped here in a Mazda van. But it was good to
get away from the hussle & bussle of Geelong, as the Avalon Air Show is on there this
weekend and we not used to it now after being in the country for some time now!
No wireless internet & mobile coverage at all, but managed to get some poor analogue
TV reception here.
