Yesterday Laura, Peter, Carlo and I went upcountry towards Ballarat for a rally car drive, taking a picnic and esky with us. Not a long trip out of the city, but enough for the air to be fresher than usual. It was good to be out in the bush again, with a real Aussie canopy and rough bark trees.

We had our picnic on the tray of the truck, and cracked open some sparkling shiraz and beers.

The rally cars, as I learnt, are timed individually. Some tore around the corner sideways kicking rocks and dust up at us, some just driving around as anyone would.

I shinnied a skinny tree up to a bigger one for a bit of sport and found a vantage spot to see the cars come through.

By afternoon we had strolled through the bush and then we headed back to the city.

Some Highlights:
Getting strewn once with rocks (deliberately?) standing at an exposed corner.
Climbing the tree
Spending quality time ;-)

It really was a fun and different way to enjoy the day.


I snoozed with the seat reclined on the way home, preparing for Shaun's 21st.
