When it's a beautiful day we like to go for a little drive somewhere. We didn't really have a destination, so my dad and I just got in the car and drove. We drove for about an hour and a half before we arrived at a beautiful creek called Pykes Creek. My dad said that him, my mum and my grandparents used to picnic here while they went to Adelaide. It was amazing being there. They went before I was born so It was my first time going.
Pykes Creek is a large creek located near the township of Ballan between Bacchus Marsh and Daylesford in Victoria, Australia. &nbs ..read more
