Yes, did what I wanted to do in Fairfield and then made my way to my accommodation in Preston.  Here for two nights so tomorrow's movement will be limited.

Looks like you're lapping up the luxury at the Rydges, not far from me BG.   If had let us know, could've organised something.

I'm at Bell City in Preston.  It wasn't that expensive at all.  I chose this based on meeting a friend in Epping tomorrow.

Hope he's a good friend, otherwise a day in Epping will seem like a week.

I haven't seen her in about ten years so I'm not fussed about the location.

Hi Bodo, I stayed at the same place on Bell St a bit over week ago (the Thursday & Friday). Enjoyed a nice steak at the Stolberg just down the road. The next morning I wandered down High Street and had a poached egg and smashed avacado breakfast. This made me think I should get a man bun, but then realised one actually needed hair for that  :'(.
Ride safe & look forward to catching up at Halls Gap. Cheers ... Mark

Again, you are just a few blocks away from my final address in Melbourne. Just east of Northland across the creek, Kila street off Liberty Parade.
I left that address in March '81 and moved to the Gold Coast for almost ten years.

I ate in the venue last night and had a couple of beers.  I bring cereal on road trips so breakfast will be my usual special k.  I'm meeting a friend for lunch so I don't know what she has lined up.

Less than a week to Halls Gap.  See you all then.

That's it.  I intended to return via Yarra Glen but made a mistake and ended up going another way.

Picking his way down the lane to Otway Lighthouse. Narrow road ... track, that one.
