THE WALLABY TRACK WITH LIONEL MUSSELL

I left you just before Christmas and I have to say that daughter Jackie and me had a great time for Christmas at my grandson ’ s place . The food was great and the company was extra good .

I had decided that I ’ d drive home via Mornington and Sorrento , and then take the ferry across the bay before heading home via Geelong and Ararat .

My old neighbours still live in the Mornington Caravan Park in the next house to the one we lived in , so I made my first stop at their home . It was great to catch up with them and in particular to sample Christine ’ s lovely Christmas cake ! I didn ’ t object when some went in a bag for me to take .

Traffic from Mornington to Sorrento was very thick but I was soon on the ferry and steaming across the bay .

Then , after Geelong , my GPS took me home via Ararat and when I got home there was a lovely meal waiting for me courtesy of daughter Sue and hubby Shaun .

General store in Old Dadswell Town .

We decided to visit Old Dadswell Town , a unique old town nestled on 280 acres of natural bush on the edge of the Grampians National Park . I had visited this great place many years ago but when we called in , there was a fantastic difference and the owner gave us a wonderful guided tour .

The buildings had different frontages but inside there was lovely accomodation . All the work had been carried out by the owner and was very well done . After leaving , we headed for the Grampians where we had a lovely lunch before heading back home .
