Back home from Ballarat
Got home from our weekend in Ballarat this afternoon. Did all the usual things there, visited Sovereign Hill and the Eureka centre, stayed with some friends, ate and drank too much, etc. One thing that was different was visiting a bird sale - my daughter and her friend are budgie lovers, so we went to the bird sale that was on Saturday afternoon. Beautiful birds, budgies, finches, canaries, parrots in all sorts of sizes and colours. Could have bought a beautiful pair of Major Mitchell Cockatoos if only I’d had a lazy thousand dollars or so.
Have to gripe about petrol prices. Canberra must have gold dust added to the petrol delivered here - its more expensive than anywhere we saw on the way to and from Ballarat. Why???? And I have to ask why is petrol so cheap (relatively speaking I mean) in Ballarat - 135.5 we saw, but 10 cents more 100 km or so up the road at Bendigo?
