SUNDAY - A RETURN TO THE WARM COUNTRY

Another driving day today so little to report. We awoke this morning to a nice crisp cold mountain morning. It was 11 degrees when we finally got going so it would have been substantially lower than that when we got up. Once we got out of the mountains, the temperature increased considerably to a maximum of 31 degrees.

We are now at Seymour, a town just off the Hume Highway about 100kms north of Melbourne. We have been caught by surprise in that tomorrow is a public holiday in Victoria so all the parks are full but we were able to get an unpowered site in a park here on the banks of the Goulburn River so Trish can catch up with some washing and I can refill the water tanks and dry out our wet gear after two successive wet nights.

We spent the morning meandering along the Alpine Way, a road considered unsuitable for caravans. There was nothing unsuitable about it so perhaps that’s a winter concern.

Tomorrow we will head west from here to the Ballarat area before heading to the Great Ocean Road on Tuesday after the long weekend campers have left. We expect to link up with Bernie and Colleen tomorrow evening for a few days.
