A winter holiday in Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT.
All the cold places!
We are from Perth, which has been having a good cool winter, but nothing like the weather we are experiencing whilst travelling in these states this month! On Tuesday it was 7 degrees C in Bendigo at lunchtime! Good thing we brought lots of warm clothes! There are plenty of rewards for travel in winter: first of all, we are doing important family things, and the weather is not getting in the way of those precious moments: see for example DGS1 and his water painting of the garage door.
Secondly, the wattle blossom is coming out -and we are looking forward to seeing a lot of it over the next few weeks. We are travelling in some rural areas, where golden canola flowers add a spectacular view under dark cloudy skies.
Thirdly, the wineries and other attractions we are visiting are not at all crowded, and prices are cheaper in accommodation options too.
We have planned a lot of train travel this holiday, because it is fun, relaxing, cheap, and saves on the carbon debt of travel. We are not only visiting family, but catching up with friends too in Melbourne and Canberra, and also visiting Orange and Sydney.
I don't know when I will be able to update you all with our travel stories, but you will find more updates on my Instagram account in the meantime.

Ooh traveling by train is fun!
Have a safe trip earthmotherwithin. Looking forward to your posts again once you return.
Despite the weather it is certainly a much cheaper time to travel. I also love train travel and it takes the pressure off if you are usually the driver. Enjoy the wineries. Pauline
