Great Stupa, Victoria. Australia.

The Great Stupa will be the largest Buddhist Monument constructed in the Western World when finished. It will be the final home for the largest gem quality Jade Buddah in the World.
This building is not far from Bendigo in the State of Victoria.

We came across the sign at Myers Flats as we were driving through on our first day travelling and headed to see what it was.

Had breakfast at Kyneton, Victoria instead of having it on the ship, not enough time!
This stop over was most welcome as it was a chance to have a good walk around.
Horse races are held at Kyneton - they are racing at Kyneton!  So the commentator says..

These first 4 photos were taken with my phone camera.


The Great Stupa


Starving we were, so this small cafe was very welcome on the cold, foggy, wet morning after driving off the boat some distance.  Of course a wrong turn was taken just out of Melbourne and somehow we ended up behind Tullamarine Airport, Melbourne.  However the mistake was soon rectified and off we went.


 
To the left which we can't see was a big fire that helped to keep us warm.

Once a Bank, now flats.

Not much happening here.
