Hamilton

Yesterday I needed to go down to Hamilton to reconciliate a job there. Hamilton, I knew who Lewis Hamilton is, but had no idea where this place is nor even heard of the place before. So this is another good thing of my job, you get to go rural area pretty often, and get to know new places.

The place is about 180Km from Ballarat, so quite a long drive actually...
and all the way, sometimes you can hardly see anyone, or even car on the road, and what you see most, are these sheeps....

Just before the Hamilton town is this town called Dunkeld. Well I am not quite sure what is she famous for, but I guess she is unique because she got two big mountains behind her... and even her tourist brochure are promoting the mountain as the coverpage!
so this is one of them...
and the other one... i can assure you they look so much better and huge in real compared to the photos that i took. And they are the tallest among Grampian Ranges.
And on the town i spotted these two houses, arent they look like a toy? and not far away there is one grarden where someone trimmed their trees to these gigantic shapes. again, the real things look much bigger than what it shows in the pictures...
and along the way to Dunkeld, i passed by a small town, forgot the name already, however they got this place called fireworld, which basically is a museum about fire. Fire as a museum theme, quite unusual huh?
it was a long day, and tiring....
