Rocked off at 0830 after wallowing in the mud hole of my caravan driveway. Note to self - need to take photo of that one - ghastly! Sucked in the mud just trying to get out of the driveway. Picked up Claire and on the road.
We are "road warriors"! No doubt about it. 531.50 kms today with a clear run to Mildura. Slight change of route.....errrr, we were travelling via Swan Hill.....errr, missed turn off so headed along Midland Highway to the West and headed to Bendigo and then up the Calder Highway to Mildura. Proved to be a good move, as the traffic was very light and we made good time. We stopped off at Stanhope Bakery for morning tea and then Wedderburn for lunch. Very pleasant stops and good parking with the glider trailer on the back. It is 32 foot long, so have too look for areas to park and service stations that are drive-throughs that don't face into the shop. Such bad layouts sometimes from roadside servos that can't accommodate a large swing area. Good old country towns have it just right!
Yes, we got "the finger" finally today! The good old Aussie single finger recognition from the steering wheel by the local farmer. Love it! It's now time to reciprocate on the next leg to Port Augusta.
We booked in to the Big4 Getaway Tourist Park in Mildura whilst on the road and they were great. We arrived and they were waiting for us and gave us a two bedroom cabin with a separate storage space for the glider at no extra charge. Great service!! We even had two ladies ask us if there was an aeroplane in "that trailer" to which we replied, "yes, absolutely"!! She has obviously seen a glider trailer or two around Sunraysia!
To the "Roll!" Claire fell out the steps of the cabin.....yes, fell out the steps of the cabin. Did a classic backfoot to the tables and chairs and then the most magnificent roll onto her back, with legs in the air, arse up, and then recovered beautifully to a standing start to the car! We will endeavour a photo for the next blog!
Relaxing in the cabin, watching Masterchef and just about ready for bed for me......
Claire says.....
No! I was not under the influence. Will reconsider a re-run of my tumble. May have a flair for a "stunt person" Have enjoyed the day, looking forward to tomorrow.
