Yea, Victoria

Our adventure started leaving Frankston bound for Miranda, New South Wales.  Clare and Charlie live there (Clare is Noel's sister and my gorgeous sister in law) and Charlie is our adorable niece.  They live in Miranda which is on the southern outskirts of Sydney.

 

However our first stop was our long time favourite bakery in the country.  The Provender Country Bakehouse located in Yea.  A town located in central Victoria 100 kilometres north-east of Melbourne.  We always stop at this bakery when we are travelling up to the high country or up through the middle of the state to other destinations.

 

And something for the Richmond supporters.....

 

Pizza Pie

 

 

Award Winning Curried Chicken and Vegetable Pie.

 

Really love this place... the pies are award winning and so yummy.  It's well worth stopping there if you are in the area but as you can see above it does get really busy especially on weekends and holiday times.

Are you happy?

We stayed the night at the Novotel on Collins last night as we were in town for Bombardiers Social Function - a river boat cruise.

I found this card on the desk as we came into the room and just had to share it........

I know that I haven't been blogging of late but we have just been seriously out of control busy!

The year is drawing to a close and there is end in sight for the madness.

Speaking of staying in the city... an odd occurance for me as I am usually in the country or interstate.  This was the view from our room this morning.....

The morning started with beautiful buffet breakfast in the Lane Cafe and Bar.  Both Noel and I were surprised when we came accross some real honeycomb available for the taking.

After leaving the hotel, we finally started our Christmas shopping at Westfield Airport West before heading to the airport to pick up Noel's parents who had been away on holiday.
