G'day all, Ballaarat celebrates the Begonia Festival during the Labour Day long weekend in March. This year it was a little damp, though not as damp as in Melbourne and elsewhere in Victoria.

Attached are some shots taken yesterday, Monday 8th of March. For most of the day the service was provided by two bogie cars and two single truckers.

I know Mal always expects me to post the odd shot taken against the light so rather than risk excommunication I've included a couple.

I had a lot of fun at Ballaarat on Sunday and Monday working with Conductor Cleak. Thank you Graeme.

The festive motorists provided plenty of cheap thrills!!
