We are embracing retirement, and making the most of it.

We knew we were never going to sit still for long, so whilst we are happy and healthy we will be out and about seeing the world………… full time.

We are out of the fast lane and taking the slow road ahead

Points of Interest - Finley to Melb

It is 3 hours to Melbourne from Finley, and we always seem to scoot down the highway on a mission. The van needed a replacement ensuite door, so once again a dash to the manufacturer, this time with caravan in tow. But on the way back we decided to stop in at Nagambie, a small town 2 km from the highway, on a lake, and the birth place of Black Cavier.

Who is Black Cavier?  Black Caviar born 2006,is Australia’s most successful racehorse ever. She has been in 21 races and won them all. This is not just a record for Australia but for anywhere in the world. To put this in context, the most consecutive races won by another Australian horse is 9. She never won the Melbourne Cup because she is a sprinter.

Only 46 degrees Centigrade this day, so a nice stop for an icecream.
