Ballarat and Bendigo

Yesterday in Ballarat we went to the Botanicle gardens. There is a row of head statues of every Australian prime minster to see which was quite interesting. i took photos of all of the statues. We then let the kids burn off some energy at lake wendouree again followed by a scrumptious lunch at one of the cafes by the lake.

Today we drove the short trip to Bendigo. In another lovely caravan park "top tourist - gold nugget" we have an en suite site which is great considering the down pour to hit here. we got here at 11.30 and it was sprinkling so got the camper up but it started to pour down by the time we got to putting up the annexe. Lucky we got here when we did though as it poured down all day. Too wet to go to any of the main attractions i had on my list for today so went to Bendigo Pottery where they have a gallery of their works and the boys got a clay kit each and got to do some clay play. They loved it and it was an ideal activity to get away from the wet weather.

Hopefully tomorrow is better weather as lots to see here and it looks like a gorgeous place to be.
