Day 4 Penshurst to Dunkeld

A super easy short ride today. Almost flat, any hills were over with in a couple of minutes. 30km covered in an hour and a half. Only issue was the cold. 14c had 2 layers and my rain jacket on. Over cast skies the occasional shower but nothing significant. No wind which was great. Arrived in Dunkeld just after 11. Popped into the tourist information and had a good chat with the lady in there, she spends her retirement travelling the world. Her last trip a river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. The time before that, Iran. Wow! Decided to stay in the caravan park here but the caretaker was over the bowls club so went to the recommended tea gardens for coffee and a cake. The camp sites between here and Halls Gap are pretty basic with only toilets and no drinking water. So need to decide if I am going to go straight threw to Halls Gap tomorrow or camp half way in which case I will need to make sure I have enough drinking water. Returned to the campsite and set up, then to the general store to get a few fresh vege's to add to my pasta. Talked to Martin and Elizabeth who are on there way home from the womad festival in Adelaide. Then later Mac and Maggie also travelling home from the festival. All ended up chatting around the fire until dark when we all retired to our respective cosy warm sleeping bags.
