Monday we were going to get a better start to the day, but I couldn't breath properly due to hay fever and John had a blowout in his thongs so back to Kyabram for more shopping. We both scored well I can breath easier and John is happy with his foot wear. Returned to camp hitched up the van and headed Rochester on the way we passed the Big Strawberry at Koonoomoo.
Set up camp at the Rochester railway station behind the Painted silos, a casual stroll to not one pub but three, lucky us!! The site was a little on the down hill side but we jacked the front of the van up and all was flat again. We were there for two nights and only had four passenger trains and one freight train go by.
Tuesday. Melbourne Cup Day apart from the pubs the whole place shuts down by noon. Had some drinks put some bets on and talked a load of shit, what a great day. It would have been better if the nags that we backed had got even a place, but alas it was not to be.
