Thinking I'll take off tomorrow for another one of my overnight weekend roadtrip adventures to get out of my apartment. I quite enjoyed driving along listening to my audiobook on my last one to Swan Hill rather than my usual Spotify playlists.

Not sure where to head this time though.. time to consult Ye Olde Google Maps.

Beechworth and Mansfield are good long drives.

I did a Beechworth weekend a few months ago! It was quite nice. Sampled all the Billson's flavours at the brewery. Never been to Mansfield though.. could be a winner!

Yackandandah's another one. Also Bright.

Never heard of Yackandandah and never been to either. After checking out Mansfield, Yackandah and Bright I think I might head to Bright which looks beautiful! Thanks for the help!

No worries. If you every go camping check out Howqua. It's past Mansfield. It's the best camping spot I've ever been to.

I have, yeah. My nan used to live there some moons back and I've done some work there.

I used to work at the Bendigo Railway Station, it's my favourite large town, nice cafe on the lake.

I love this! Thinking of getting up early for a ride, but had a mess of a day. Should be in bed now, but we’ll see.
