BENDIGO

We subsequently drove to Bendigo - gold mining again - and pulled into the Showgrounds on advice from a chap in Ballarat, we found an area up high, some grass, power and water supplied and the usual showground fee of $20 per night.  Decided to stay over the Easter period, had heard of the festivities that happen at that time of year, and also that their Art Gallery had an exhibition on Grace Kelly, some of her clothes and accessories.
Booked for the Sunday afternoon while John was watching motor racing.  Oh it was a lovely experience - the classic styling of her outfits - beautiful tailoring - gorgeous.  There was also some video of her and I gloried in her beauty, the exhibition included a photo of her meeting Princess Diana and comparison was made of how they were both style icons and met their deaths in vehicle accidents.  One benefit of that is that the image of them both remains beautiful !
We did not do a lot while there, had a rest, did some housework and washing in the free washing machine.
Soon the carnival trucks began to come - bearing the rides and games for the Easter Festival.
