Continue left (South) on Gillies Street for quite a while, bypassing the main part of Ballarat (Woopee!) until you reach a T-intersection. The stockyard is right in front. Turn right into Winter St W, go short distance to end, turn left into Learmonth St, go short distance to roundabout, turn right there onto the C296 and you are now on the road to Snake Valley. About 20-25 min from here. There are two turnoffs (left) you can take - both get you there.

See you there on Fri 15th. I'll be trying to get there before sunset, work permitting!

I know the way you are explaining, Eric. I can even see it in my head, but when it is written out like that it sounds very complicated

It is very simple though
