Ballarat

11 January 2013
Since we decided to stay longer at the caravan park we had to move to another spot. Lucky for us it is a better site and have heaps of room. After a late morning tea we headed off to look at a regional park near Elaine. Would be a nice spot if you just had a camper trailer and not a massive van.

Went into Ballarat and checked out Lake Wendouree where the boys played and we had a tram ride up and down the street.

Nanny and Poppy took the boys Christmas shopping and bought Harry a new bike and William a remote control car. Once we got home and put the bike together that's all Harry wants to do now. He looks all grown up riding around on his big bike.

Drove up to Daylesford for a look. The town seems to be a food mecca with so many cafes etc and heaps of people to go along with them. We spent our time at the lake having lunch and a paddle on the lake in a paddle boat.

Today we went for a drive along the Great Ocean Road via Colac and back via Geelong. Big day in the car but the scenery was worth it and the fish and chips.

Happy Birthday Carl!

For Carl's birthday we spent the day at Sovereign Hill, Ballarat. It is an old gold mine tourist attraction with a recreated township. It was a fantastic day and we will have to return to finish seeing everything.

Harrison and William enjoyed panning for gold the best. Lucky for us we had spare clothes in the car for the trip home.

For tea we went down to the local pub and had a fabulous meal. The tablecloth was butcher's paper and the kids (even the older ones) enjoyed scribbling on it.

Maree and Kevin headed off to Geelong for the day and we just had a lay day and didn't do much at all.

After catching up on some much needed washing, we headed off to a garden maze. We had clues to find the answers to and off we went. Took about an hour until we found them. It was a lot of fun and we were rewarded with a lolly snake.

Sad day today. Time to say goodbye to Nanny and Poppy. It has been great holidaying together and look forward to seeing them soon.

After both our catch ups with the grandparents it is now back to just us...a little lonely...but look out Tassie here we come!
