Plan : Set out on June the 7thHead west to Ballarat (derived from aboriginal words meaning 'resting place'), a regional city of some 90,000 people established during the 'Gold rush' period in the 1850's.
On to Arrarat and The Grampians, a geological marvel of long valleys and jaggered sandstone peaks. Devastated by a bushfire a few months ago, the bushland should be in recovery by now, perhaps offering some stunning burned black and lush green contrasts for this amateur photographer :)
Keeping in mind it is the Outback we are heading to, the rest of the journey will continue through Horsham, across the border to South Australia, through Bordertown, Adelaide and to our first true destination, Port Augusta, the gateway to the Outback.
