We left the Great Ocean Tourist Rip-Off Road at Port Campbell, ($1.38 a litre for petrol) and went to Echuca on the Murray River via Ballarat ($1.13 a litre, 100km away). It was an easy drive along relatively quiet roads. The smoke haze from the fires got quite thick and was beginning to irritate our eyes between Ballarat and Bendigo, but after that it cleared up. We had lunch at Lake Wendouree, or perhaps Pond Wendouree or even Puddle Wendouree might be a more accurate description. We were there in September last year when there was still water in the lake, but now it is dry.
