Yesterday we took a quick trip to Bendigo. It’s equidistant from Shepparton and our place (give or take a little bit) so was the perfect place to catch up with the Jankes and Mum and Pater. We had coffee by the lake, toured the Grace Kelly exhibition (mildly disappointing – poorly planned, too many people to comfortably take it all in, too dimly lit and many exhibits lacked context) and then an afternoon back at the lake for lunch and crazy running around the playground time for the kids.
It was a perfect, relaxing Autumn afternoon and we’ve decided that later in the year we’ll arrange a holiday there to take in the city and surrounds properly as a few hours really doesn’t do it justice.
When you come to Bendigo for a proper stay don’t forget to see the Brereton-Lawrences. I have a heap of barbecue food to pay you back for.
