It was great to drive out of the Melbourne clouds into the charming towns of Western Victoria, including the beautiful Camperdown with its volcanic maars. We walked around Mount Leura and Sugarloaf Mountain. Here are some pictures. We travelled onto Killarney to camp behind the sand dunes. A great start! Markus has even broken out the NVG (night vision gear to the uninitiated) to protect us from the wild magpies in the trees above our camper!
Fully loaded we finally hit the road at 10.30 this morning
IN 24 HOURS WE WILL BE ON THE ROAD!
“Never forget that anticipation is an important part of life. Work’s important, family’s important, but without excitement, you have nothing. You’re cheating yourself if you refuse to enjoy what’s coming.”
― Nicholas Sparks, Three Weeks With My Brother
“To the most beautiful moment in life. Better than the deed, better than the memory. The moment… of anticipation!” – Jacques- The Simpsons
Trailer is packed… Truck is prepared… final pack & clean today…
Had farewell drinks with friends last night & Neil took this pic in Dave T’s driveway.
A LITTLE OVER A WEEK TO GO NOW…
Made a great drawer for the back of the vehicle yesterday that will hold tons of gear safely and allow easy access. Apparently the link to the map of our intended route did not work so here is the image –
