SATURDAY 24 - SUNDAY 25.3.2012: Arrived safely and began a series of "Welcome Back to the Mainland Reality Checks".
1. Visited Simmone (Carole's niece), who is currently working on Neighbours. Toorak is some 5 minutes (as the crow flies), from St Kilda. One and a half hours later with closed off roads and bumper to bumper traffic we arrived - city drivers have such a tolerance for motorhomes - not!
2. Next stop Kilmore Caravan Park - one of the few places on our chosen route that allowed dogs. Scheduled 40 minute drive, another hour and a half.

| $30.00 PER DAY |
3. Kilmore Caravan Park - mainly cabins and residents, with a small plot for vans. The van next to us was so close that we could have touched their awning. It is difficult to support the caravan park's case for closure of the Freedom Camps.

Kilmore is contentiously claimed as Victoria's oldest inland settled town. It was a stronghold of early Celtic settlers from Ireland, Scotland and Cornwall, and remains a strong Celtic area to this day.
The Leylands spent most of their time in Kilmore sleeping!
