After a peaceful night's sleep we ate breakfast, put our luggage back in the car and left Horsham just before 9:30. Not far from Horsham we passed the Green Lake. Unlike the previous day when we had stopped at the Pink Lake, which wasn't very pink, we chose not to stop as it didn't appear …

When we aren't travelling the world or caravanning somewhere in Australia we live in one of the best places in Australia, on the Mornington Peninsula. So when our local Australian Plants Society group took a cool summer's day walk at Bridgewater Bay in Blairgowrie we joined in. There aren't a lot of car spaces but …
The following morning was a much brighter looking day so we did a quick walk through the holiday park with Mel before breakfast. The narrow Steavenson River was a delight to see and hear. After breakfast we loaded up our water bottles in a daypack and made the short 700m walk to the trailhead of …
We had thought about a trip to Marysville for a long time since the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires had swept through the town and surrounding countryside. In the end we decided an end of summer weekend trip while the weather was warm would be good. Getting there proved a little hair raising as the road …
