We spent a wonderful night at Mark and Mireilles home at Burwood in Melbourne yesterday, joined by Mark and Bev also from Melbourne. Obviously Mark was a very popular name in 1950\u2019s Melbourne, apparently everyone names their children Dan these days. We all have motorhomes sitting somewhere in Europe waiting for overseas travel to recommence. It was a great evening with like minded people sharing some wonderful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this morning we turn for home once again. When I say turn, Mark has given comprehensive instructions of getting out of Melbourne. This involves turning right twice and then left then right again. Amazingly we turn onto Whitehorse Road and where heading out of Melbourne into the Yarra Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stop for some breakfast and a walk in Yarra Glen but didn\u2019t find an interesting photo. We continue on passing numerous wineries, obviously vinification is big business here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We drive on another 60 kms to Yea which is much more interesting to walk around. Parking is a lot easier as well. Yea has a very nice bakery so we get some bread rolls etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
