Frankston

We knew Melbourne had laneway murals, but when we had a couple of spare hours in Frankston while the car was at the mechanic we discovered some around the station and shopping centre.

Sale

After finding Sale to be fairly quiet last Christmas we decided to book the caravan park for longer this time - from Christmas Eve to 2 January. It didn't disappoint... this was us camping with all our friends on Christmas Eve!

We enjoyed regular walks around the lakes and wetlands (and the supermarkets for marked down specials!). The water was quite dirty from the carp and all the birds (even though it's blue in the town mural), but there were some good photo opportunities as the birds all had their breeding plumage and colours.
