After passing through the historic Victorian towns of Bendigo and Ballarat, each of which deserve their own blogs!, (one for another trip) we stop at Bordertown, just over the Victorian and South Australian border. Staying at a typical Aussie country pub, the "Central", I was just down the road from the main line from Melbourne to Adelaide, the very line I would be staying next to at my destination of Mt lofty railway Station in the Adelaide Hills!
The station was built in 1914 and is now heritage listed, but still gets a top from the "Overland" passenger train four times a week. The yard had a busy grain facility which unfortunately no longer operates, but someone had a cosy home under the old freight platform.
With over 2000km on the Disco so far, we have about 300km to go before we reach Mt Lofty station and my new home for the week!
Hooroo for now.
