Wodonga / NED KELLY country




Well on Saturday we left Canberra after a day at the Royal Show. Kids had fun going on the rides and got a show bag each.
So saturday we arrived in Wondonga. The caravan park in wodonga was absoulte crap did not have a nice feel about it or anything, hard to explain but we didnt feel relaxed there. We had 3 nights booked but we left today for Ballarat as didnt want another night there. This was borderland big 4 that we had stayed at, i dont know how they managed to get a 4 star rating.

Anyway the first night there we went into albury and had dinner at a nice little italian cafe style restaurant, was lovely food. Yesterday we went for a drive out of wodonga to taste some wines at Schmitz strawberry farm. mmmm the wine and liquer was nice there. Got a couple of bottles. Them drove to my favourite wines destination "brown brothers" tasted the wine there and bought a bottle of wine. They have a larger selection in the cellar than you see in the liquor store. Stopped into Beechworth for lunch and thats a beautiful old heritage town. We ate at the best bakery ever. They are on the corner of there main street and have the largest selection of pasteries, rolls and cakes i have seen.

On the way back to wodonga we drove through Glenrowan which is Ned Kelly land. we went to a ned kelly mueseum which had a replica of his house and was very interesting.

Today after a long trip we arrived at Ballarat. We are in goldfields big 4 and this is by far the best caravan park yet. Its 5 star. Our site is right opposite the playground and right next to the camp kitchen, pool and bathrooms so perfect for us all. Its like a resort. I dont think the kids will want to leave but they are booked up over the wkend so only get 4 nights here. We are off to Soverign Hill tomorrow and the gold muesum which i think we will all love and Hogs breath cafe tonight.

some pics to update you all.
