Monday 9th March - Ballarat to Dunkeld
It got down to 9.6 last night. No maximum as Clive forgot to tell me. It's great to be back in our own bed again and in familiar space for me. A good night's sleep was had by both of us. The drive to Dunkeld is about 2 hours away, west of Ballarat. Along the way the Grampians come into view. They look magnificent. Dunkeld is the southern gateway to the Grampians. It's only a small town, with about 600 residents, supplemented by tourists. There's a general store, pub, chemist, cafes and bakery and a couple of gift shops. In addition there is a police station and a school. Oh well, we do like small country towns. We're staying at the Dunkeld Caravan Park. It's a quaint park, very peaceful and has a community garden, where you can help yourself to home grown vegetables and herbs. TV reception is average, so Clive set up the satellite dish. Working within five minutes and a perfect picture. Yay, as Home and Away and MKR are on tonight.
