autumn produce

the harcourt apple festival is being held on the labour day weekend
the week after we're back in melbourne

so maybe it would be nice to go on a road trip (probably not - we'll probably want to stick close to home, but nevertheless)

drive up to harcourt
along the calder, take the gisborne exit, and then take black forest drive to woodend
take the tylden woodend road and wiggle up to malsbury, and then up to harcourt

i suppose this is the point it gets into silly odyssey cross-country
harcourt - seymour and then on to mansfield.
