    Day 26

    29 juillet 2019, Australie ⋅ 🌧 11 °C

    Early start this morning after a super quiet night, on the road at 7:15 back on the dirt for a bit and then into the Menindee town ship, more dirt for about 60 kms before we are finally back on the black top for good just north of Pooncarie. Started to get some light rain as we finished airing up the tyres and it continued into Mildura, stopped on the side of the road just out of town for a cuppa, took the Sturt highway to Robinvale then onto the Murray Valley Highway as the rain got going, rained well all the way and we found a spot just north of Tooleybuc to have lunch, back on the road and the rain stopped just as we arrived at Swan Hill our stop for the night at the river side caravan park. Setup the van and then went for a drive around town and a walk along the Main Street, pretty much your large country town similar to home with all the things you need.
    Weather has turned only 14 degrees back to Victoria and reality, will be no drinks outside tonight got the heater on in the van adjusting to the change, nice to see the rain here and the crops look good that we went past, cottage pie for dinner and a few drinks 👍    En savoir plus

    Day 27

    30 juillet 2019, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Wow how cold gotta love Victoria’s weather, only 13 degrees today with a very fresh breeze, suited up with some warm clothes and headed off to the Pioneer Settlement for the day. What an amazing display of old time gone by it is a small town with working blacksmith, wood turning, printers, lollie shop and music shop. A big display of old machinery and buildings fully replicating the old way things were done. Had a good chat with the blacksmith who showed me how to make a few things and some good tips and advice on metal working, had morning tea and lunch at the cafe which was good and then in the afternoon we went on a paddle steamer ride on the PYAP on the Murray River, no longer steam driven it is powered by a Diesel engine but still gives you the idea of how long it took to get any where or wait for supplies to come down the river, things are way easier now, spent most of the day there with no problems, in the van for a few drinks tonight will do a mini pack up ready for an early morning getaway tomorrow ⏰En savoir plus

    Day 28

    31 juillet 2019, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Home time today, out of bed at 6 to a slight frost and on the road by 7 and heading south through the lake towns of lake Boga and lake Charm and then into Kerang, right turn onto the Loddon Valley highway and made our way down to Serpintine, we then took a short cut on to the Calder highway to divert around Bendigo, 30 minutes and we are on the Calder Freeway making our way into the City. Stopped for a cuppa at a truck stop near Woodend then back on the road and over the Bolte bridge, through the tunnel and out to the Officer truck stop for Maccas lunch, had a good run through the city and once we got out a bit further we got back to little traffic and made good time, gave the caravans a toot at Rosedale free camp on the way past and we made it home just before 3.
    Great to back and see everyone, straight into cow jobs, drinks with Nan tonight, kitty was more than happy to have her house back.
    We had a great trip, met lots of people and went to lots of new places, the 79 series performed excellent and had plenty of power to pull the van.    En savoir plus
