And … we’re baaaaccckkk!
The drive wasn’t too bad really. A bit rainy through the twistery, hilliness that exists up until Nowa Nowa, but after that the sun came out a bit and the wind died down.
We made good time and were at Bruthen for lunch and home by 4:30pm. The kids initially thought that we were free camping tonight … and I guess we kind of are 😉 But they twigged around Sale that the destination was the big HOME for tonight and they were pretty excited. We finally managed to finish listening to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy audio book that we’d been listening to, one chapter at a time each day. Around Pakenham they still had no idea where we were and thought that it would be ‘hours’ before we were home and thus happily got stuck into the last movie.
It wasn’t until we were going through Baxter that Hannah said “Hey!, I recognize this place!” … and the jig was up!
