Day 84 - Lindis Hotel to Bendigo

 We passed on through the remnants and ruins of the Historic Lindis Hotel. The use of schist rock for the walls gives a ‘industrial’ look.

At morning tea we discovered what the rustling last night had been. A four legged friend had nibbled through a peanut slab wrapper, and no doubt thought it had struck gold!

Adventure before dementia camper.

A whopping 38k hike achieved. It seems whatever the walk for the day the first 3 kilometres are easy and the final 3 simply drag on for what seems like eternity. It works out this way most days.

Our tent is pitched on the shore of Lake Dunstan. A view across to Mt Pisa range.

Remnants…
Ruins…
So this is the evidence of the rustling in the night. Something else likes peanut slabs.

Phillip’s Rd. A back road for peaceful walking time.
The dust in the distance is from a truck that passed by.

  1. What is the story behind the ruined hotel? I can see why the last three kilometers can feel long when I look at the photo with the road stretching endlessly ahead. love Bronwyn
