No food drink or toilet stops between Kyneton and Glenlyon.
Glenlyon Cafe itself closes at 3pm but I estimate we'll be into Glenlyon in time for a late lunch before it closes at 3pm
There are no other cafes restaurants or even an iga in Glenlyon so you will need to either bring dinner or buy one of the more substantial lunches available at the Glenlyon general store and reheat it for dinner
Brekky available on Sunday at Glenlyon General store and for those who are on the train we will trek across to Castlemaine via Porcupine Ridge Road and Vaughan Springs.
