Long lunch at Terrea in Bendigo. It’s actually attached to the Ernest which also has some cozy seating in the wine cellar bar. Entree, main , and dessert were all exceptional. I had the duck, and it came with a sausage for some reason. A welcome surprise. 5 stars all around.

After lunch, we went for a few more drinks at the Belmont, which some of my clan used to own many years ago. Not much has changed, with the exception of a beer garden and the fire place is gone.
