Day 3 took us to Mildura where we crossed the border into Victoria and left NSW. No more NRL, awesome! Heidi's milk drinking ability has taken off with her taking any opportunity to slurp down some milk out of a straw, whether we are at a truck stop or bakery.
Today was a short drive and we reached Mildura quite quickly and spent the afternoon checking out the town. We then stumbled across Hudak's Bakery and seeing it was lunch it was time to sample my first Victorian Pie. This bakery caught my eye as it was runner up the last two years for best Vanilla Slice in the Great Australian Vanilla Slice Contest.
We went in and ordered up a pie (& vanilla slice) and to my surprise I got an oval pie. At least it was a step up from my last square pie. Biting into the pie it was too hot and it was the blandest filling I've tasted so far. There were no stand-out flavours coming through and soon I just wanted to get it over with so I can have some Vanilla Slice.
Now the Vanilla slice was amazing and I could see why they scored so well. It was about half the size of a normal slab you would get but the icing and custard was so smooth and sweet. It's definitely about quality and not size. Hudak's should focus on the sweets and not the savoury food, I gave this pie 3/10, just go there for the slice.
Hazel also got to see some firsts with aussie wildlife seeing wild emu's and galah's around the Mildura Golf Course. After seeing the galah's we instantly had to practice our best Alf Stewart impersonations "You flaming galah"!.
Day 4 was to take us to Adelaide where we would be catching up with Mel & Tony and Simon and Kerry. Should be some good times had and just a couple of cheeky red wines.
Get Behind!
