To Nagambie, Victoria

Called into Nagambie, Victoria to a bakery bought some very tasty Vanilla Slices for breakfast along with a few other things to eat.

There was a bus load of 'older Australians' who had come to visit the monument to Black Caviar.

Black Caviar is a retired Australian Thoroughbred racehorse undefeated in 25 races, including 15 Group One victories, eclipsing the previous mark set by Kingston Town. She was named WTRR World Champion Sprinter in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Black Caviar was born in Nagambie in 2006 in the State of Victoria, Australia.

Was a bleak winters windy morning. The lake is used for rowing.

The beginning

The first leg of our 4-1/2 month trip began June 22, 2016.

We boarded the Spirit of Tasmania for Melbourne towing our caravan behind us.
The trip across Bass Strait was a good one as far as we know, we slept through the night.
Arrived in Melbourne, Victoria about 6am and at 6.45am we were one of the first to drive off the ship.

Headed for the Hume Highway which takes you to Shepperton then onto Finley where we stayed the first night - HOWEVER - we didn't see the sign to the Hume Highway and ended up near Geelong :) so I got my Google map out on my iPad and found a road/path that would put us on the Hume Highway, ended up doing about 200 klm more than we intended.  
Having done this many times before we just didn't see the sign and wasn't paying attention!

The photos are of some of the scenery up the wrong road.
Map below.

As you can see Geelong is a long way from Shepparton.
