Thursday, Jan. 22
This is where we parted with Mike and Jan for a couple of weeks. They planned to head straight to Melbourne but Sally and I had booked a cabin in Ballarat for the Australia Day weekend. We had planned to stay the night in Ballarat and then drive into Melbourne tomorrow to pick up my boys, Jake and Nicholas, so they could spend a few days with us. We stooped in Daylesford and had a walk around the lake and then ventured up to a lookout tower above the township.

We then headed to Ballarat in gale-force winds. This explained why there was a total fire ban in place today. In fact, as we drove in we were greeted by a grass fire in the middle of Lake Wendouree. The lake looks a lot different from when it was used as the rowing course in the 1956 Olympics.

This evening we visited Kyleigh’s (from Buderim) parents Jan and Colin for dinner. They entertained and we chatted about Buderim and our trip over a couple of bevvies. Sally and I piled into a cab around midnight and headed back to camp.
