Following birthday celebrations at home, we spent three nights away in central Victoria; two nights at the RACV Goldfields resort in Creswick, a central Victorian town, enjoying rest and luxury and exploring the town, then a beautiful drive through wintery countryside through Smeaton and Maldon to Bendigo. There we stayed in our favourite B&B, Antoinette's and visited the Bendigo Art Gallery, taking in the latest exhibition "The Australian Women's Weekly - 90 Years".
