The Wombat's Revenge!

Dave finds himself immersed in the tale about a wombat and it's revenge plan!

Best op shop ever.

This is only a fraction of the Kamahl collection at the YMCA shop, Ararat.

Dave's parma is shaped like Australia.

Or so he assures me.

Lunch

Parmas at the Ararat Hotel.

Stawell Salvos

Bargain!

Statue of two meerkats hugging. Only $23.50. Cheap at twice the price!

Cherry delight

Cherry delight and Jaffa ice-cream in Halls Gap.

Clematis falls

We're not entirely sure if it's raining or we're just getting splashback from the falls. Either way ... superb.

Leaving...

Writing "LOL BATS!" in the guestbook.

Mmm, breakfast wine!

Not only is Dave Rees awake, but he's doing the dishes!

The slightly more unsettling view from the lounge area:

Get a load of that serenity.

The view from the breakfast table:

Bat!

There is a BABY BAT in our house. It's ADORABLE.

Dinner

Double meat.

A spot of rock climbing

Our model Dave is showing off the latest in rock climbing gumboot technology.

Heatherlie quarry

Tattoo time continues.

New categories

When you spill wine all over the board, Dave Rees suddenly has several more pieces. When did "cheap red wine" become a category of questions? Because I could kick arse on that one.

Aww

Look at us all hanging out together.

Lesson

Lesson of the night: do not try to pick up a working helicopter. Seriously.

... for a piece of pie

"For the piece: How many kidneys does a normal human have?"

Dinner

Prosciutto, sundried tomato and boccincini pizza a la Jess.

Log cabin bookshelf

The bookshelf in the cabin we're staying in has a wide selection of amazing books. Including a romance novel which has this helpful map:

Made in Japan

Organized crime was stinking up the land of cherry blossoms. So our girl, Cherry Delight, was sent to Japan to squash the bad guys. She's a real doll, but she'll kill you if you get her wound up.
Out there in Tokyo the oriental goons took their best shots at her, but it didn't do them any good. Before Cherry got through with them, their whole organization dissolved like rice paper in a rain storm.

Silverband falls

Horrible beasts

Jess doesn't seem to care that kangaroos are evil and want to kill me (and possibly her).

Yay kangaroo!

Roos!

Wondering how long it'll be before Dave stop getting excited and taking photos of every kangaroo we see.

Dave's first vanilla slice.

Ballarat

Dave hanging out with his old mate Harry.

Beechworth bakery.

Unfortunately, still photography doesn't even come close to capturing the sheer creepiness of this animatronic midget Ned Kelly baker.

Yay, apple!

Bacchus Marsh

Stopping off for snacks and strategy in Bacchus Marsh.

Surprise

Got in the car to start the road trip and this came out of the CD player ...
