Today started out as such a wonderful day, and came close to ending with devastation through the day.

Stayed at Best Western Attfield (nice room with good amenities) and then had brekky at Broadmeadows Shopping Centre. Then went back to Melbourne Airport to pick up my brother Chris. We then drove up to Kyneton, stopping off in Macedon to visit Hanging Rock. I am so glad things worked out but it was a difficult afternoon. We both decided to climb to the summit of Hanging Rock ( see photo). We stopped halfway up for a photo opportunity, with Chris popping behind a rock to take some photos, and then he didn’t come out for 4 hours. I was really worried that it was 1901 all over again (Aussies will know what I’m talking about). He cannot talk about what happened, but I’m glad to have him back.

So we then headed on to Kyneton, to stay for a couple of nights in a great two storey property with the bedrooms and lounge on the top floor and the kitchen, bathroom, laundry etc. on the ground floor. And great heating!!

So we had dinner at Pizza Verde, delicious beef and pork meatballs and potato gratin, followed up with a great Diavalo pizza, washed down with a shared bottle of Pinot Grigio and then pear cider for myself and local beer for Chris. We then went for a walk for abput half an hour and then back to the accommodation. Now watching UFC  on his mini tablet.So the first photo is the rock formation Chris went missing in, and the second is the actual Hanging Rock.

ation Chris went missing in for half the day.
