Is there somewhere nice to camp around there


Yeah. Plus it's close to ballarat so plenty of options


Nice?

Close?

Nearest camping ground I could find is here:
http://www.caravanontour.com/free-campsites-and-low-cost-camping/victoria/victoria-camping-campsites/2675-hunts-bridge-camping-area.html

Not sure if it ticks either box, not for me anyway.  If camping is a criteria, I'd be checking with the pub to see if they allow you to pitch a tent out the back.

Or, Marcus' back yard.

Just a day trip for me, about 3 and a half hours to ride home. I can't stay overnight as I have to get home to feed my cats.
The mate who usually looks after my cats when I am away will be in Melbourne for the weekend visiting his family.

Absolutely mate, just 45 minutes up the road and you'll be in Mt Franklin, one of my favourite quick getaway spots!

...sorry I missed your calls over the past few days... guess which genius managed to get his phone packed into a box of books... (if ever your moving house, and your kid helps, just double check before taping up any boxes!!!)

That's a real bummer Marcus,
Hepburn doesn't do it for me , so,
I'm off to Brissy for a few days.
If it changes to the following weekend
or a later date then I am back in.

My attendance is a little up in the air at the moment... my lady is very keen to get out for a ride, but also has a lot to do that afternoon, the extra travel time up to Hepburn may make her afternoon a little too tight, so we're looking at three contingencies: a) We might set off early and visit Onesie at camp (since it's our favourite spot!), have breaky in Daylesford then head home.  b) We head down the coast for the morning.  c) I attend the RTE solo, which usually would be fine, but we're in desperate need of some good time together, so I dunno... I'll give a definite answer before the event!

Yeah, I know... we've had a bit of a crappy day down here today, so I don't think we're going to make the lunch, sorry guys keep an eye out for us on the blue ST11, we may be in the area earlier in the morning...

Catch you again next time, Steve and Phntm0 :thumb

Just went outside for satellite connection to set GPS for Hepburn Hotel instead of Lal Lal, which I had programmed in before the change of venue.

GPS now has me on a revised route, so its mostly a Highway run all the way instead of the back roads, will probably do better time.
