Day 44 & 45 11th 12th March.

After getting away from the fire
We found a roadside park and had dinner and slept. 

I woke early at 5am hearing the electrical shut down with low volts. I stupidly turned on inverter to charge bikes through day. 

Drove off as it was hot and fans. Found a 24 hour carwash at  with a power point so I could jump start the lithium batteries.  All good .

 Langehorn Creek had a council campground. Parked up and walked 10 minutes into town. RV Park was nice with toilet $5 -a night. 

Not much in town but some beautiful old buildings and a closed pub and Cafe.

Had coffee and to our surprise was really good in the mugs Sal likes. Accompanied by an equally good sausage roll.
Still early so decided to head off to Port Elliot caravan park. Got a nice spot next to a small rocky Cove where we can dip and a nice view. Staying 3 nights now. 
Up early to Jem's cheerful phone call. Had a swim at the main beach.
Then off for a ride to Victor Harbour. Easy 8k there on cycleway and backroads along beach. 

Got to the wharf at Victoria Harbour just in time for a nice photo of the carriage that goes out to Granite Island
Found a nice coffee shop and shared a Bacon and egg roll.

Day 1.

Image
Well after thinking we were getting away early to start the trip plans changed. After Sal did her laps at Woonona pool we had a great breakfast with all the family and Lous parents at the North Break Cafe at Woonona. Photos and a couple of tears from Sal and we got away about 10.30am.  Easy drive to Yass and Sal took over while I slept in the back.  Wandered around Gundagai in some reasonable heat decided on Criterion Pub for pizza later and chilling in van.  Lost my horn as we were farewelling Oreste so maintenance starts already. Otherwise all going well.  Click on the link and hopefully a video will appear thanks to Leanne and her brains trust. Gundagai Free Camp https://youtube.com/shorts/lkXXHWhd0cQ?feature=shared

Day 2

Image
Quiet night with all fans blowing hard keeping it at an acceptable temperature. Early start along highway. Saw a truck rollover but he considerately went off the road to do it so no hold up. No one was injured. The driver was talking to the Police probably trying to convince him he didn't fall asleep on a straight stretch of road. All workers on hand at Holbrook painting the submarine. The submariners return every Australia day and paint her up. They stay in town and have a few drinks together at the local pub. Off to Echuca to hopefully find a spot by the river. The co-pilot wanted to do more driving so here she goes. Next to no traffic. It is a nice feeling to be on the 🛣️ again. Stopped in Rutherglen. Nice street to wander along. Old buildings interesting shops. Onto Murray Valley Highway and found our way to Chisties Beach on the Murray just out of Echuca. Found this great spot and waded in for a dip.  No serenity. It is filled with ski boats and jet skis, house bo...

Packing the motorhome a week out.

Image
 Well it is just a week away before we head off on our Biggest Trip ever. We are in the motorhome in Tassie for most of February. We are meeting friends at Geelong and doing some cycle rail trails for a few days.  After that we are exploring places along the coast towards the Nullabour. Then explore the areas towards the Margaret River Region.  We are leaving the motorhome at Perth Airport and pick up a car to travel up to Exmouth. Swim with Whale Sharks up there and snorkeling.  Back to Perth and fly over to Bali and meet the family there for a week. We are heading to another area in Bali for another week. From Perth we wander back exploring places we missed on the way.  We anticipate the trip will end back home in July.
