20th August 2016 Daylesford - Hattah Lakes



3 degrees when we left Daylesford, very foggy and drizzly as we head towards Mildura for our first night on the road. We have our fingers crossed that we head into some nice weather. My good deed for the day was to stop just outside Donald on the way to Birchip and shift a turtle from the middle of the road to the edge where he won’t get run over. Not big enough for soup!!!!....  Plan on stopping at Birchip for a vanilla slice just because we can and they are yummy. Apparently there was a “Best Vanilla Slice Competition” at Merbein which we have since found out the bakery in Birchip has won. Nice and sunny now and up to a very balmy 8 degrees outside the wind is cold.  Found our camp spot for the night at Hattah Lakes Rest Area 40kms north of Ouyen which was terrific with lots of wood and far enough from the road to not worry us with road noise.  First effort to put the camper up was easy and only took us 25 minutes which I am sure we will improve on.  Slept like a log and was so comfortable and snuggly with feeling no cold whatsoever.  Jaffles for tea and an early night.
