Some days are pure magic

Perfect weather, perfect route. Leaving Ararat we took Tatyoon Rd and Mt William Rd to Skipton. All day we had the full length view of the Grampians on our right and for a time, Mt Ararat on our right. Sheer pleasure in the undulations with a tail wind. The highlight of the trip for me.

So why Skipton? We decided we will do the  Skipton to Ballarat rail trail.

Skipton is still recovering from a flood on Fathers' Day 2010 which was followed by an even more severe one in Jan 2011. The only pub was destroyed and camping is not allowed. The only accommodation is three cabins at the roadhouse, but these are good. Unfortunately, this has implications for the rail trail business. Our hosts have been very "accommodating" as we had the afternoon to catch up on washing etc. Tomorrow we will take a leisurely trip along a historic rail route to Ballarat. PLanning to visit Tony adn a good friend, Phil Gray. Will stay the weekend.

The small water way that caused all the trouble.So where will "N' take us?
