Day 7 – Tuesday, October 14, 2008


Halls Gap to Ballarat

This morning’s immediate post breakfast activity was to arrange all the cars in chronological order for a photo shoot with the Grampian Mountains of Halls Gap as a spectacular backdrop.

Another invigorating (read: cold) drive ensued, again on winding, deserted B and C country roads, with touring speeds ranging from 40 to 60, depending on the age of the Alvis or the courageousness of the driver.

Lunch was in the town of Maryborough, founded in the 1850’s during Australia’s Gold Rush.

The afternoon’s drive was spectacular as the morning’s.

Total miles for the day: 131. Cumulative miles on the tour so far: 803

STOP IT! You're making me bloody homesick. Any bonza Jillaroo sightings, yet?

In Pom or Murrican, please!

Answer: maybe, if I knew what it meant.
