Here's a nice roadtrip idea:
Sleep on the overnight XPT train from central 6pm to melberg 6am, a couple of hours watching the city wake up, then a train to Ballarat for elevensies, then a coach with running commentary through gold country to Horsham. Pick up supplies and catch the 2pm bus that goes past Mt Arapiles. Niiiice.
I've done it a couple of times and it's actually quite a relaxing trip, if you have the right outlook. It's not about the destination, it's about the journey. |
