Day 2 Euroa to Chiltern - 128 kms


Last night we had ducks quacking half the night, trucks off on the highway going to & from Sydney all night plus at 2 am a group of revellers coming home from one of the 3 weddings and 2 christenings that were happening in the town. 2 blokes, one dressed in a suit and another who was only partly dressed, no underwear on, were calling to each other on their mobiles looking for each other. They were standing on either side of the toilet block but were unable to co-ordinate locating each others whereabouts.  All, except the trucks, settled down around 3 am. Tonight we have ducks, trucks and now also freight trains. I wonder what sort of night it will be.
The day has been really nice. Not too cold heading out this morning and making it to morning tea at the Rose Garden in Benalla at a reasonable hour. Jan had made a lovely fruit slice which she provided for morning tea. Lunch was at Wangaratta and Lew provided watermelon for the group which was greatly appreciated as well.
Everyone stopped at Glenrowen to check out the Ned Kelly memorabilia. The weather was great although a slight headwind for most of the day after morning tea. Alf somehow missed the McDonalds at Wangaratta (where we had our lunch stop) so he kept going until he got to Chiltern before he ate. He's not sure how he missed it as it is pretty prominent. Anyway, he managed OK. Robbo took a wrong turn but managed to get back on the right track and we were all in at camp by 5.30 pm.

Life has been pretty good today.

The photography subject has been announced- the subject this ride is 'Town Life'.

Good night.
