2 October – Thursday
An easy start today, not leaving Bendigo until 9.00 am. We travelled south to Castlemaine, but as we couldn’t find anywhere to park, continued on to Daylesford. We stopped here for a stroll and a late morning tea/early lunch – a pretty little town in the middle of the Victorian goldfields. We passed all those well known places like Kangaroo Flat and Frog Hollow, with old diggings virtually all the way. Farmers probably check the dirt very carefully when they dig new dams!
Instead of driving through the centre of Melbourne, we decided to go the long way round via the Western Ringroad, Eastern Freeway and the new Eastlink to get to Aunty Pat’s house at Dingley. All went well until after we had arrived, positioned the caravan with the usual blocks on one side to level it. I was inside the caravan when Les drove off – then the caravan moved off the blocks! A bit of a heart flutter happened at that stage. We had to rehitch, move the caravan and try again. Despite protestations to the contrary, I do believe a bit of muttering did occur.
Big family dinner tonight as it is both Brian and Jessica’s birthdays.

The caravan wasn't still attached, was it?
