The weather changed at Greens Lake last night. It got quite warm during the night, so that was a nice change. Linda (nomadic1) and I had a quick chat then we left for the short drive to Bendigo. We're in the Showgrounds, haven't seen the caretaker yet, so we've just set ourselves up like everyone else her...

Thanks to Jim (Just Cruising) and Leonie for the hospitality the other night - had a great night with you two and Lorraine and Brandt (Kiwi-as) - we are now in Yass for the night in a CP.

I feel great, I am sleeping better than at home and have a great view looking out at the North Arm area here in down town Lakes Entrance. I must say though it is very hard watchin...
