long drives
I am playing along with pip’s words and pictures - this week it’s a long drive
Gone are the bell street days – we now have links for the city and beeping grey boxes
Best stop at malmsbury bakery for one of those mean mcmean sausage rolls
Through tiny weeny taradale
Flick, flick for a new radio station
Some apples at Harcourt – remember to get the “no fruit fly” sticker
Mustn’t miss that turn off before bendigo
These days we stop just the other side of marong – I miss you
Bridgewater on Loddon where I’m sure cafés used to masquerade as pubs but they must have gotten help, Inglewood and the blue eucy
Sometimes the wedderburn oppie is worth a quick browse and the playground for a run-around.
For some reason my Dad wanted to spend a new years in Berriwillock – maybe he called it half way
Must be time to check out the Charlton comfort station – do you need to fill up?
Did you know catholics don’t eat ham on good Friday?
Watch for the cops at wycheproof. Does anyone still climb that mountain with a sack on their back?
Dry dry dry to the lake with no sea but tigers during winter. HOT HOT coffee, slides and a stretch
A small town with a large lamington and a visit to the Queen Bee – she’ll satisfy hungry bus loads, or quench the thirst of your kid or your car. Does she still have crunchas? Can’t leave out batman and robin at the pub
One day I will take the turnoff to Hattah
Any fruit? Leave it in the fruit bat bin
Do you know Colignan is Nangiloc spelled backwards?
No more coat of many colours, my turn to choose the tunes
Past the big radio tower, nearly there
You’ll meet a few mallee boys and girls if you turn left to werrimull
There’s Big Lizzy
How do you say Irymple? Wow, that’s a big orange
What’s in the fridge?
