We're going to Bonnie Doon....

And that's the truth. While living in Coolaroo we had to complete the full Castle 'on location' tour and with Kelley's sister Katie over for Easter it was a perfect opportunity. Katie can almost recite the entire movie so we were all rather excited about the high quality serenity that would be on offer.



Surprisingly, there wasn't a lot to see at Bonnie Doon, although it did have a nice looking camping ground. The lake was all but non existent, there was barely any water in it and what was there had dead trees poking through it.



We then carried on through more bush fire hit areas, we'd come up through Kinglake and went home through Marysville. It was quite humbling to see the charred stumps and remains of burnt buildings. Just out of Marysville we ran into a local fair, the highlight being the snake / croc man.



It was slow going on the way home down the Yarra Valley with a lot of people heading back to the city so we stopped near another source of Melbourne water for a break.
