Bolac - Mt Franklin

Wednesday, Jan. 21

On the road again. This time to The Daylesford region where we were bound for Mt Franklin (as in mineral water). This appeared on the map as the only camping facility in the Daylesford region. We started driving south down the Grampians to Dunkeld then towards Ballarat. As we approached Dunkeld we drove through the Sierra Ranges past Mount Abrupt.

We stopped in to check the Bolac collage rowing club and were surprised to see the complete lake of water in Lake Bolac.

From there to Mt Franklin were the camp ground was excellent. It is set in the crater of an extinct volcano surrounded on all sides by pine forest and in the crater itself, and old plantation of English and European trees.
