    Goulburn to Albury ...

    September 21, 2020 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    Left Goulburn about 8.15am.
    Waved to the Big Sheep.

    Nice trip.
    Stopped at the Dog on the Tuckerbox at Gundagai for petrol.

    Kept thinking that Emily and I drove up the other side of the road 11 weeks ago.
    We did not know what lay head.
    I remember us pulling out of here....
    Bit nervous with wondering how Bumper would travel.

    If only we knew what an amazing time we would have!
    How Bumper thumped along the road at 100kph.
    He is marvellous.

    So I pulled into Reception at the Lake Hume Tourist Resort.
    After being waved through the police road block.
    Apparently the first road to the right out of the park leads to Victoria.
    That’s why they are set up there.

    Reception was closed... lunch.
    So Lacey andI took a walk through the park.
    Down to the sites we left 11 weeks ago.
    That was pretty emotional.
    Why can’t we turn back time?
    I could see us there.
    Again, not knowing what lay ahead.

    We were so excited here.

    Booked in .... not easily.
    Didn’t want to believe I had come from Woopi.
    Anyway, that sorted.
    I asked for site 72 so I could sit here with that marvellous view and reminisce.
    72 was Bumper’s site.
    And Emily could not believe the water view!

    So I drove onto the site and Lacey and I headed down to the Lake for a big walk around the edge.
    She’s off lead and now a water baby.
    Jumping into the water to check out what interested her.
    Woopi was good for Lacey.

    Big thunderstorm hit so we sat in Tin Tin til it passed.
    Rang Mum, Luisa, Emily.
    Daryl rang me.

    Another walk.
    Then chicken and salad for a very late lunch.

    Will be heading off for another walk shortly.

    That’s it.

    Still don’t want to come home.
    This adventure has been simply amazing.

    And sitting on the doorstep of my van, gazing out over the start of our adventure, I am feeling the serenity.
