Everywhere you look there is something to make you smile or laugh On Sunday many of the attendees hooked up and headed home, with some having come from as far afield as Adelaide with long road trips ahead of them. A few of us lingered a bit longer for another cozy session by the fire to reflect on what an awesome weekend we all had. After my epic journey from Queensland I decided to stay an extra night after everyone had gone home before hitting the road again for Melbourne. On Monday Max took me for spin in his hot rod and we went and visited a cool retro shop called in nearby Stawell then popped in to see hot rodders Bill and Dot who I had met a few years prior when they won the Best Car and Caravan Combination at the Maidenwell Independence Day event in Queensland with their hot rod and teardrop caravan. Dot took me for a cruise around the town in her hot rod and she showed me all the sights and I have to say I am a little bit in love with Victoria! That night Jenny cooked me up lovely roast dinner and Max wrote me a list of contacts he knew that he assured me would look after me on my journey home. What a sweetie! The cruise into Melbourne was gorgeous; the countryside so lush and green with fields and fields of luminescent golden yellow canola in full bloom. I passed through gorgeous little country towns with their historical old wooden cottages and daffodils and jonquils in the garden and fruit trees filled with blossoms. Heaven! Thank you Max and Jenny for a wonderful weekend. I will be back one day for sure!
