WITL 2 : On the road again.....

With the Easter holidays on the way, we were on the road again. This year, we were heading to the Wartook Valley, the major entrance to the Grampian's National Park, in western Victoria. The 486km journey took us around 6 hours by car. To avoid the rush hour traffic, we decided to start around 9 o'clock.


Our first stop was Bordertown, a small town in South Australia near the Victorian border. We stopped for a rest and bought our lunch at local bakery which is located near the river with a park around it. So, we chose to sit outside and enjoy our fresh, country baked pies.


Next stop was Dimboola, a small town in Victoria. David spent many Christmas holidays on , so he took me on a nostalgic trip to all the places he remembered. We visited the caravan park where his family used to stay, the weir where they used to walk to every evening after dinner to go fishing and yabbying and many other places. I took a lot of pictures for my father in law that I hoped would bring back a lot of pleasant memories.



Finally, we arrived at the Happy Wanderer Holiday Resort in the Wartook Valley. This caravan park is a small, family owned tourist resort located between Horsham and Halls Gap. The cabin that would be our home for the next 3 nights was very cosy and came complete with a full kitchen, bathroom and view of the swimming pool just outside our front door.
