down here for fringe and need to be back sooner than expected but tickets are stupidly overpriced/full due to clipsal so i thought i'd just check if anyone was driving back tomorrow? i've a full licence and petrol money plus will likely have several kilos of fruchocs.

damn, there should be a question mark in that topic title...
so, where's nice to stop on the way?
There's a great cafe called Salingers, which is a tiny town called Great Western on the highway through the Grampians. Good food, coffee and setup. Never found anything else like it on the drive...usually just bad, overpriced generic cafes or delis/servos.
cheers! will have to check it out...
Oh...by the way, it's only open Wednesday to Sunday (so disappointed when we were driving back on a Tuesday...) and it's opposite the pub.
Nhill is also quite a nice town to stop in.
seems like a good second stop. much appreciated. going up next saturday.
check out Keith too fuzzman, if only for the name.
tempting, but i think our novelty name stop for that area might have to be Ki Ki.
pity you're not going to Perth, Iron Knob is an interesting town.
i stopped at the pie shop in bordertown and ran into BATRIDER and two people wearing matching RIDE t-shirts
am i going to end up going to scorpion springs national park only to find the so called ''scorpions'' are actually just spraypainted yabbies?
ah, forget about visiting Iron Knob then fuzzman, you'll be bitterly disappointed.
not the first time i've been fooled by a can of metallic spraypaint.
From memory, there is nothing in Ki Ki...blink and you'll miss it.
Also, I don't recommend going into the shop at the Big Koala...it is best admired from the car at 100km/h.
i like stopping at keith, nhill and beaufort
Keith had a great servo that doubled as a small diner with arcade games from what I can remember.
