Today we have had totally blue skies the whole day and
warm! We are not used to it
anymore! We took the car and explored
Alexandra and Clyde, very picturesque old gold mining towns. I've been to Clyde before and remembered how
picturesque it was. We drove back to
Alexandra along a back road (past Sam Neill's winery) and then up to a view
point looking down on the town. After
lunch on the bus we drove via Cromwell (running out of water in the tanks, had
to fill up!) and came to our latest freedom camping spot beside Lake Dunstan
near the turn for Bendigo. It was 32
degrees in the bus when we got here though probably 10 degrees cooler
outside. Still hot enough for the sun to
start burning our feet as the shadows moved as we drank our rum and cokes. It's a hard life!
Hope you went for a swim in the lake. I did the last time I was down! absolutely freezing!!!!
