Day 2

Day 2 started when I awoke in Bendigo. There was a chilly overnight low of -2.5°C at 5am. After warming up and defrosting my swag, I had some breaky and left the camp ground.

The sun was out shining by 9am, so I stopped in a side street of town to dry my swag. It took about 30 mins, but meant that I didn't have to worry about sleeping in a wet swag tonight. I had tried to dry the swag at the caravan park, but everything there was wet and frosty making the task impossible.

I stopped at Bendigo's Central Deborah Gold Mine and went on an underground tour. This mine is now only open for tourism and to preserve some history. A lot has changed in mining techniques over the years!

I continued my drive north, stopping briefly at the old port town of Echuca. From there I said goodbye to Victoria and continued on into NSW.

I'm staying at the Big4 park in Deniliquin, where the overnight low is estimated at 0°C. I cooked on the BBQ and stayed near until it ran out of heat. With the fog thick and the temperature cold, it's time for bed.

Goodnight.
