On the way we stopped off at a joint Rotary fundraising project. The Clubs in the area run a weekly market in a local car park. They sell spaces to vendors, manage the site and take donations. It's popular and profitable. The 6 clubs take turns so the load is not too great on any group of Rotarians.
We picked up the car from Avis and were on our way north up the Hume highway. It took a bit of getting used to being in the left side of the car. The controls were reversed so I was always putting on the wipers to signal a turn. It got easier as we went.
We had lunch and a break at a roadside place called Dog on the Tucker box. It's part of Australian history that even has a poem in addition to the Statue.
We turned off the freeway at Colac and went over to the Olympic highway. This went thru some really big farm country. There were wide valleys, lots of crops and lots of animals. Stunning scenery
in a higher country.

Wineries started to appear soon after Young and were more evident as we got closer to Orange.
The GPS took us right to the hotel where we checked in.
Supper was Chinese takeout and liquor from a store around the corner. We had enough for two nights. The room had a full kitchen with fridge and stove so we are all set.
