SEA LAKE, & MANANGATANG REVISTED.

We left  Charlton this morning in the fog. It didn’t take long to lift, and then the sun came through. It was a little windy, but luckily we weren’t driving into it. 

As we do, we zig zaged and went the long way, stopping at Nandaly for lunch.

Ed used to deliver there when he worked for Dons Smallgoods. 

They have a pub, and the shop that Ed delivered to had been closed down for what looked like a long time. 

Population 30 

What they have done, is built a lovely free stop over for campers. There’s showers,  toilets, and two power sockets for caravans to plug into. 

There was no one there to take advantage of it all though as they built it so people could drop into the pub for a feed. 

So on we went after lunch along the Calder Highway and turned into what Google maps said was the way to Chinkapook. 

Well we must have blinked as we couldn’t find it…….but 17 people live there!

So we stopped at Sea Lake instead and went for a walk up the Main Street.  It’s not a big town, and there were a lot of shops closed down. 

The chemist was shut for some reason…..but this little display was in the window front…

I think they were trying to tell us all something ….

Geez…..not sure about that in your front window 😳🥴

On a nicer note……

And a bit of street art….

So we are now parked at Manangatang for the night…..then back to Mildura tomorrow. 

We’ve had a lovely time visiting all these interesting small towns that we used to just pass through on our travels from Geelong to Mildura. 

We look forward to seeing a lot more of them. 

Take care everyone ❤️❤️
