Good Friday...
... and Australia is closed
The plan was to go to the market for meat, drive to Lysterfield Lake Park for some mountain-biking, then stop at Chadstone for the rest of the food. Small problem: When trying to buy our usual morning coffee in the coffee shop downstairs it was closed. So was the market. As are all the "24-hr" supermarkets. We're firmly expecting all restaurants and pubs to be shut as well. Must check out the larder for any left-overs, then. In many ways, Australia is still stuck in the 1970s. It hadn't occurred to us that the country might be shut on a bank holiday. None of our Aussie colleagues mentioned it either.
In case you're wondering, today's picture is of no relevance to all this whatever. It's yesterday's moon rise, and I thought it was pretty. That's all.
