I went to Melbourne on Thursday. While driving through the city a thunderstorm erupted. Crack! Boom etc. By the time I was in St. Kilda the sun was starting to shine through the clouds. I had to pull over and take some pics. Today in Bendigo, we had a similar thunderstorm suddenly develop. Now, about an hour later, it's gone. The fun of early spring.

Well, winter is almost over. Though yesterday it came back with a vengance, strong wind gusts and horizontal rain. But with springs first attempt last week I bought a compass and bravely set foot off the beaten track and into the wilds of the Whipstick Forest. It’s so rugged, but somehow beautiful. There are some simply breathtaking views, vibrant wild flowers and magnificent/majestic Eucalypts. Hotels to stay at for this post: Bendigo
