Trip Part 2

We spent a couple of days in Geelong before getting the ferry from Queenscliff to Sorento. This is a pleasant 40 minute trip and not expensive,then it was a leisurely drive along the coast before turning inland to Tarralgon.

After a nights rest it was on to Bairnsdale before heading to the Victorian High Country to follow the Watson Trail (area settled by Sydney Grandison Watson Great uncle of Sue) He was known as The king of the Mountains.
We travelled through some great country, the snowfields of Mt Hotham, small towns like Omeo, Dinner Plains, Myrtlefield & Mitta Mitta. & roads that wound through great mountain peaks, running streams & large tracts of trees. When I said "wound" the road was just one turn after another.
We did the area between Omeo & Myrtlefield twice as we found that at Myrtlefield that Sue had left her credit card at Omeo but that gave us the oppertunity to do the other road that took us through Mitta Mitta & Eskdale before stopping a Tallangatta.
