First Warm Spring Day

Just a quick post; Karl Jnr was working so the rest of the crew took the cycles to a local market. After buying some farm goods we headed home, took the car and headed off for lunch and a trip to the bay. Melbourne (or should I say Bayside) is still an amazing place even though we are run by complete morons. On the way back home we stopped at our local, Urban Ground where Georgie had some Oysters and a cocktail. Yes, Martin and I were at odds. 😁

Note: Shot on the GoPro: Dad wants the Osmo 5 for his Birthday.

The fam, minus Jnr who was working, headed back to Ballarat to visit a few spots we missed. Day 1 consisted of visiting the Tram Museum and the Botanical Gardens. After an amazing lunch at Pancho's, we hit the Art Museum where they had a fantastic exhibition on the history of guitars. Day 2 took us to J-Ward, in Ararat, to see how they treated lunatics in Australia (surprise surprise it was not that great). After that, we visited the Vegemite Museum and then travelled back to Ballarat for a mini pub crawl and a great dinner at the Hop Temple.

VoxNeon

G and I went with the Smiths (no not Morrissey) to see Voxneon. Sadly karl was working and unable to go so Martin said; "bugger that Dad, I'll go to the movies" so karl drove him home after work. The Neubauers and Smiths went to the Chelsea Heights Bistro for dinner first which was garbage to a level of Chernobyl garbage..... But it was fun and the food gags didn't end.

Hahndorf (ver ar zee Germans)

We decided to travel to Hahndorf for a short holiday. Hahndorf is situated about 30 clicks outside Adelaide so I thought, what the heck, revisit my trips to Adelaide for work and visit a German town. Let me start by saying that Hahndorf was the least German place I have ever visited. While the place in its heyday may have been quaint they basically whitewashed the Germans (even forcing them to change their names) and ran them out of town (read the history). Saying all that we had fun eating Wurst and drinking German'ish beer. Some of the many highlights the video will show are the Pink LakeOld Tailem Town Pioneer VillageNepenthe Winery and the Pinball Museum to mention a few. I also took my drone (DJI Mini 4 Pro) out for a test drive and I was super impressed with the stills and video performance.

A quick post from today. It was our 2nd outing at Eastern Sward Golf Club today and Dad took full advantage of Martin's injured wrist. After a fun (and frustrating game for Martin) we went off for lunch at Modu before coming home to get stuck into work and homework.
