COLD SNAP

This cold windy weather makes me feel like we down south again. Particularly along the Great Ocean Road it was very windy and cold changes just like here today!
Here are some more holiday pics. Once we left the coast we headed inland Victoria. We spent a few days at Ballarat ... what a great old town! Sovereign Hill was a great day out and the "Blood on the Southern Cross" show (which is all about the Eureka Stockade) was fantastic!!
We did a tour down the gold mine, visited the lolly shop and watched candy being made ... yum and of course did some panning for gold. Blake was so into this!

The boys found lots of tiny little flecks which blake has proudly displayed in a little bottle.
We also visited the Eureka Centre which was a very interesting place, and the Gold Museum which obviously had lots of gold and gold stories.

The we moved on to Bendigo. I really liked Bendigo and in particular the magnificent old buildings with their grand architecture. We took a ride/tour on a 'talking tram'. This was lots of fun tramming our way around Bendigo with a running commentry of all the buildings etc. and just the fact of riding a tram was a novelty for Blake cause they are basically non-existant
around here. I have a lovely tram photo of the boys but it won't upload ... grrrr! Will have to post it later.
From here we travelled up along the Murray River ... Euchuca, Swan Hill & Mildura. Will post some more pics soon.
Hope you have all had a good week ... not long now til the weekend.
Be good,
Cheers, JULIE x
