IN MELBOURNE

I HIT THE ROAD on saturday in 42 deg - thank god for the air conditioning.  i left before sunrise and had a slow and interesting drive, everythings super dry but it's pink/gold grass a lot of the way and i always love driving through the wimmera with it's wheat silos.  i stopped a lot to take photos.

 above - pics from the bushfire areas around ouyen, tempy, speed, turriff and gypsum

pics from warracknabeal - i like this little town with its funny sculptures on the roundabouts as you travel down the main street

too hot - get a mallet and just bash a hole in the wall and shove in an air conditioner -  this is the hotel in the middle of warracknabeal - pigeon central
