Monday was a cold morning with plenty of drizzle. We headed off to the school for breakfast and presentations. One lovely official drove us into town to collect our cupcakes as they were not going to be ready until 8am. This is a difficult time as leaving time is 8:30am and the later you arrive the later you leave. Not good to have cupcakes and have everyone in front of you - not good for business.
By today word had spread that the Cupcake Girls had cupcakes for sale today. Therefore demand was quite high - we even sold some before we left the school.
We drove around the Blue Lake of Mount Gambier and were so busy following directions that we missed the lake! We ended up driving right past the bakery on our circumnavigation of the town as we headed out!
It was then onto forest tracks and plenty of mud, potholes and narrow bridges. There were a few spin outs. As we travelled it was nice to be in a litle convoy as you could see how the car in front was travelling - frontways or sideways, fishtailing or just cruising.
Our first Cupcake Cake stop was successful it was at an intesection that went onto the tar. We then travelled on a little further until we were being asked when our next stop was. Thinking that there was enough demand we stopped at a lovely little spot where there were a couple of cars having a comfort stop. A farmer came along so we shouted him a cupcake. There was also a little tractor for the men to have a look at. Having sold out we headed onto lunch. We wound through the Grampians and down into Halls Gap Primary School. There were 26 children in the school. They entertained us by singing 'give me a home among the gum trees. John Williamson is doing the Bas with us this year so the school kids fot to meet him in person and we were provided with a wonderful lunch.
It was through more forests and farm tracks. We went up Mt Rouse for a view over the country side of Hamilton. We stopped in a little pub with some other Bashers to talk to the locals.
We headed into town and found our accommodation - wonderful and warm appartment.
We met up with some other Bahser's for a late dinner. It was then time for a well earned sleep knowing that the morning was our own.
