After a crazy week of last minute jobs, like getting the new rear tyres on yesterday, and the air con unit re-gassed on Tuesday, and the final loading in this morning, we left just after 8am. We of course then sat in the slow-moving traffic along the M7 but eventually it cleared and we were driving down the Hume highway. We stopped at Bookham for lunch, and made it to Wagga Wagga by early afternoon; where we briefly saw our son-in-law and had cuddles with their new puppy Miso, before getting back on the road for the last leg of the day to Hay. We thoroughly enjoyed an awesome sunset, (despite being blinded at times by the glare of the sun as we were heading due west) whilst enjoying some good old 1980's rock. The moon and first stars of the night also emerged. It was a beautiful vista to make some of the flattest parts of Australia more scenic and enjoyable.
. We both have started to relax and ready to enjoy this adventure together. Free camping tonight at the Sandy Point area by the Murrumbidgee River tonight.
Already getting texts saying "were you driving through the Goulburn bypass this morning? i was overtaken by a clipper..."
