Saturday

Well last night we stayed beside a beautiful lake, it was lovely wakng up to the view. Charles wanted to get going and have breakfast later (so whats new?). We are heading for the Grampion ranges now where people go rock climbing and lots of walking.

Oh boy, who's stupid idea was it to go to the Grampions, mine!! This road is so scary after being on the flat for a week, at first it was so misty I thought we wouldn't see anything, maybe that would have been better. It is twice as bad with a trailer on and a light on the dash saying your brakes need attention!
There are hairpin bends all the time and why is it that the cliff is always on my side ? Charles keeps telling me that the wheels are not at the edge of the road the car does overhang the wheels, but not enough for me.

We now have a decision to make whether to stay here a night or go on to Ballarat and whether to drive right through the Grampions or take off to Stawell.

Well got to go to the visitors centre and grabbed some info then it was off !again, I think that's it for the Grampions!
Yes it was straight on to Ballarat, then looking for a motel while negotiating our first traffic since Perth. No luck so thought we would go to Bunningyong as it is a small town, no such luck, so small it didn't have a motel. Looked up the name Roper at the visitors centre/family history library. Nothing but they told us to go back to a motel, they were full but directed us to another and so here we are. It would be so nice to lounge about for 2days, I'll see what I can do. They even have hot chocolate in the tea bags yahoo!

But first a shower, then wasing, its allright when you are on the nullabour but in civilization i keep saying I need a shower. Will now send these while I can.
