This is an adventure from Melbourne rather than in Melbourne. It will start with mainly photos, text getting later.
The main destination is Goschen Bushland Reserve, near Swan Hill in NW Victoria. Here is the overall map of the planned trip ....
.. and this is day 1.
We stopped in Bendigo to visit the Art Gallery and have a look round. I was very careful to stick to speed limits as last time we came through I picked up two speeding tickets on a rail crossing. This was a wall close to the Gallery.
The fire station next door.
The town has a thing about flowers at the moment. An old phone box near the Gallery.
An old post box outside the VIC.
This spire behind the VIC is I think a school of some sort.
This is just an old building across Pall Mall from the VIC .
The Military Museum and Boer War Memorial.
A weaving by Kim Ah Sam using baling twine, raffia and Emu feathers - and I suspect other stuff - to create a map of her traditional country.
With a strong Chinese community there are a lot of cultural references around. These are lamp-post bases outside the VIC.
The flowers continue inside the VIC.
On, on and up to Kerang. We passed an historic monument and wondered whether it honoured Major Mitchell or Burke and Wills. At the Ibis rookery both got a sign: this is the one for Burke and Wills.
The Ibis were in large numbers! Best bird here was a pair of White-browed Babblers.
On getting to Lake Boga we checked in, finding that I had stuffed the booking process so we had a one bed cabin. The only vacancy was a bedroom cabin at an extra $50 a night. We took it, and it was very pleasant, looking out on to the Lake. A Darter posed, sort of, for a photo.
Sunset
Moonrise over the Lake.
Artistic use of a reedbed.
It was a supermoon - close to Earth.
Later shots including some trees and cloud.
