Day 4 and final day of Julie and Prue's Excellent Adventure circumnavigating Bendigo. We started at Ironstone Hill, walked through the streets of Epsom, stopped for a coffee and then wandered on tracks through the Wellsford Forest. It was flat and quite lovely. We finished on the O'Keefe rail trail and then on the bike track through Wildflower Drive. Overall, it was a great 4 days, and l was lucky to have Julie as a guide. We walked around 80 kms in total.

Nurofen enhanced jog around Benalla lake on a very humid morning.

Peter insisted we returned to the Barambogies in order to 'conquer the mountain'. Fueled by Nurofen, we walked course 3 from Sunday and, to our surprise THE CONTROLS WERE STILL THERE. We bumped into the course setter Peter Mousley about 2/3 of the way collecting the last few, so stopped for a chat. I found # 6 this time - l was way too high - a common problem l have because my sore knee subconsciously tries to avoid going downhill unless absolutely necessary. Saw two really big goannas.

Walk around Benalla lake. It was very warm and there were several people distance swimming and children jumping in - so it must be warm. People were also fishing and having picnics. We are expecting a tsunami of people after bext weekend. Took some Nurofen this morning and back is a little better.
