On the Road Again

From midnight last night, Victorians are now allowed to visit friends and family.

While we have been isolating, some family members sold their house, bought another one, and moved. (It was their chooks who came to stay with us while that move was happening.) So today we took the opportunity to go and see their new property, which is about 150km south-west of here.

It was lovely to see see the house and garden, and just visit! But I didn't think to take any photos until on the way home. So here is some of south-western Victoria:
Quite flat in places.

On the horizon you can see something here:

Zoomed in a bit, it is obviously an old volcano:
But we had to wait until we got home to confirm that it is Mount Noorat, a dormant, not extinct, volcano. Apparently there is a walking track around the crater, so that might be an activity for a future visit.

Oh how nice to be able to get out and about; we are still in lockdown here...still having a lot of virus patients and deaths going on.
I am not in a hurry to get "out there"; especially as some people who think they are "special" and do not need to follow safety rules for everyone, are not wearing masks or social distancing...;000

So nice to be able to go for a drive and visit family and friends! I love the old Volcanoes in the western district, such interesting landscape. I hope the new house was lovely and the chooks moved in OK!

Love the vast distances of the volcanic plains.

What a fantastic trip. Your posts are like geography lessons. That walk around the crater sounds interesting. Hope you will try it sometime and tell us about it.
