We visit Attrey's Reef on the "Take A Walk" track at the Hume Highway Vehicle rest between Chiltern and Barnawartha, about 25 kilometres past Albury Wodonga towards Melbourne, walking into the edge of Chiltern National Forest to see the abandoned gold mines.
We check into the Melbourne Big 4 Holiday Park in Coburg and though it's late, we catch the tram downtown. We eat Turkish/Greek/Mediterranean food at the Lounge on Swanston Street and get back to our caravan via tram just before midnight.
