Melbourne

Thursday after experiencing our first frost for this trip we left Yea travelling through the Yarra valley. With cattle & sheep grazing in the lush paddocks also passing many wineries it only took us a couple oh hours to reach the Jurgens Factory in Pakenham. We did a tour of the factory, it was very interesting to see the vans being made from the chassis up. 

We have been staying at the Dingley Five Ways Caravan Park in Dingley which is a very handy location for shopping and getting into the city. 

Fruday we caught a train into the city and were lucky to be able to get tickets to The Lion King, poor Baz was certainly out of his comfort zone  as he hates catching public transport. He was sure we would be spending hours doing loops on the train lines trying to find our way back, he lacks confidence in my ability. Saturday morning it was off to do some retail therapy 10 minutes down the road to Dandenong to the Black Pepper/Breakaway outlet where of course I was able to pick up some bargains then back past the caravan park  heading the opposite direction for 10 minutes to the DFO at Moorabbin must say saved the old boy quiet a few dollars. Today we catch the boat back to Tassie we will leave the caravan park about 3.30pm and head into Station Pier we have been given a late check out which saves us hanging around in town for too long. It has been lovely enjoying the sunshine here in Melbourne, time has come for me to finish up for another year.
