Day3
Left this morning heading east to Sebastian Oval a tiny little town of approx 100 people who have opened up their 150 year old sport facilities for caravanners to park on their oval. Next to the oval is the horse racing training track. We were able to watch as the horses were trotted around the track while being secured behind their owners ute
Day4
With the weather improving, we stayed another day and lit up our small choofer for its first time. We had neighbours who we nick-named Pinky because their six wheeler ute had pink rims, pink number plate and most of their items were pink.
Day5
We left early and headed to Corop via Elmore to Greens Lake where we were to meet up with the group a day early. We found a spot, set up and enjoyed the sunshine before enjoying a stunning sunset.
Day6
We had the morning to ourselves relaxing before the members of the group started arriving after lunch and setting up themselves for the next couple of days. Gathering around a fire for happy hour and meeting new faces and hearing of their travels.
Day7
Still at Greens Lake, where some of the members were still repair minor problems with their vehicles. Again another fire which some used to cook their dinner.
Day8
We left Greens Lake and headed north to Rochester to see the silos and get fuel. Travelling through Rupunyip to see their silos then to Murtoa to visit the Stick Shed. An amazing big building made during the war to store the excess grain. The plan was to stay at Logan Pub in the Scrub but on arrival, the area was not big enough for our convoy of 9 vans so we moved 10klm further on to Kooreh Hall which had plenty of room for us all with a fire pit.
Day9
Today we moved to Brim getting fuel again in Warracknabeal on the way. So many vans already there so were able to park in back blocks in the sand on power. Happy hour around the camp fire again tonight.
Day10
Today we were supposed to be at Hopetoun but we decided to stay on at Brim. 2 of the group left to go there while the rest of us stayed back.
Day11
The rest packed up and headed up to Hopetoun today but we stayed where we were for another night hoping to meet up at Patchewollock tomorrow.
Day12
Change of plans so we headed to Green Lake while the group stayed at Walpeup and then made their way home. We were pleasantly surprised on arrival to see the lake full of water and some work done on the amenities. We had a campfire.
Day13
Lit the campfire early and did some metal detecting (found a dessert spoon) while Rosie went for a walk around the lake.
Day14
Chatting with the neighbours, we were told that on Saturday there would be an engagement/wedding held at the community hut, so we decided that we would move on tomorrow to avoid all the noise.
Day15
Packed up and headed out and tried to find Walpeup Lake without success so headed to Patchewollock to view the silo and railway station. With the weather closing in, we decided to head for home.
Some Silo Art
