Travelling north

The day started with 5˚ in the tent.  The heater is good.

We stopped for coffee at Martin Street Café – open today.  We were quite underwhelmed.  The barista started to take our order while on the phone to his mechanic and kept interrupting us, he then turned the knob the wrong way on the grinder which made for a long wait and Hilary’s coffee was lukewarm.  We won’t be back.

We weaved our way back across the Macedon Ranges taking a different rout this time.  We passed lots of hay making and signs for wineries which were quite hidden as we didn’t see any vines.

When we’d had no info from the next accommodation, Hilary rang him – “this number has been disconnected”!!  When we got to Rutherglen, we knocked, walked around the building and were just trying the number on the board when a lady came up – “he’s in New Zealand and I can let you in”.  Rose Marie was extremely helpful [she sets up the house for the owner] and the house, on a one way lane is just lovely.  Bread milk, juice coffee are included in the three bedroom house with full laundry.  We will wash all those new warm weather clothes we bought.  We have a nice view over the lane of an old red brick house with steep red iron roof in an overflowing garden


We had seen one of these toilets in a sustainability show home, but not “experienced” it.  On flushing, the fresh water comes in through the tap over the handbasin.  We had thought it would be unwieldy, but it isn’t.  Water saving and space saving!
