Hi folks, as you can see, we're back with the photos today. Not sure what happened yesterday, photos went missing again.
So, to fill in one of the final days, I decided to do a big round trip around the alpine region. This required me to drive about 220km, all in the mountains. So plenty of ups and downs, and I think my brakes are probably worn down a bit more now.
I started the day by driving up to Dinner Plain. What a lovely little town, that's not really a town. Whilst there, I decided to do a walk, to the Carmichael Falls. Even though I didn't get into the falls themselves, I still managed to get my feet pretty wet, thanks to all the rain of the past few days.
From there I headed up to Mt Hotham. IT's funny going to these places and there not being much snow, even though I did get to see some. The trip down the other side of Hotham was exciting, lots of going down hills. On the way down, I stopped to take a look/photo of Mt Buffalo, about 50km away. Oh, and there's some crazy people out there. On my way down Hotham, I passed about 10 people riding their push-bikes up hill.
I headed in to Bright for lunch, and also to make a bet on the Melbourne Cup. How did everyone else go? I managed to put $5 each way on the winner, so I doubled my money. Very happy there.
From there I drove to Mt Bogong, via Mt Beauty. And from there I headed to Falls Creek. I didn't know there was a big dam on top. Not tempted for a swim though, it was about 5 degrees up there. I also did another walk, going to see Wallace Hut. An old hut in the middle of no-where, used by people who get lost during the winter months I guess.
So I headed back from there, and ended up at Anglers Rest for a bit of fishing. Once again, the water was going crazy, so I didn't last long there.
So, 4.5 days to go. Tears are starting to happen......
