Trek to Tassie

2nd August 2025
Well I've lost count of what day I'm up too. We've been so busy doing the tourist thing whilst being here in Ballarat Victoria.
We arrived on Monday and booked into the Ballarat Holiday Park.
Tuesday we had a shopping day, few things from Kmart, washing basket from Anaconda and a gas heater from BCF. Steve went to Westpac to sort out the cards that he ordered 3 weeks ago.
On Wednesday we went to the Eureka Centre and saw the flag of the Eureka stockade from 1854, we then went to find the Butter Factory in Buninyong, but couldn't find it.
we then stopped for coffee in Buninyong which was really lovely.

On Thursday we went to Sovereign Hill this was good but a little chilly.

On Friday we went and caught with an old school friend Kylie Fenton, we had breakfast at the Golden Circle hotel.
what a great time we have had in Ballarat so far.

 The morning dawned a lot dryer, we got up packed up and went for breakfast at the Roadhouse again. The meal was so big we took a doggy bag. We left Tailem Bend at 9.30am and headed to Bordertown. We stopped in Keith for a walk and a cuppa, then it was on to Bordertown again. When we got to Bordertown we got fuel, and we found the white kangaroos they were gorgeous, I've never seen a white kangaroo before. It was then onto find camp. We stopped in Worsley first but it was to quaggy and wet. We decided to go onto Serviceton Victoria, Here we found a lovely campsite that has power, toilets showers and water all for $20 per night. We are staying 2 nights.

As it was only 7°C we crawled into bed early.
