Day 1 - April. 12 Yea
Today’s Adventures:
After an early morning coffee in Melbourne it was time to pack the car ready for the trip from Melbourne to Yea....
I was attaching the bike rack to the new Ute and alas the bolt on the tow bar had a pin connector in a different position to my old Ute.... so it was off to Rob Baker for a few “running repairs”. Then home gain for the rest of the packing for the trip....
After saying goodbye to Robyn and 5 of the grandchildren it was off to pick up Rob Baker for the trip up to Yea. I was given a picture by my grandson Cooper to take on the trip. You will see the picture below in the photo collection
The trip up to Yea was uneventful and Rob and I chatted about all manner of things including the great win by the Dees against the Cats yesterday.... great to have 4 wins for the year so far!
We arrived at the Yea motel at about 1.15 pm where the weather was quite good with some warmth from the sun...far cry from the cold weather yesterday in Melbourne
After picking up a few items for breakfast we were off for a tour of the wetlands on the Yea river which was most informative. The incredible work the local volunteers have done to restore the wasteland in to this wetland area is quite extraordinary. We all leaned a lot!
After the tour it was time to assess the gear ready for the riding over the next few days and to have a chat amongst us all.
It was good to catch up with Des and Anthony who had traveled by train and bike to Yea yesterday and today!
Dinner tonight is at the local pub
