Day 1

Having finally left home and dropped off a key to the security alarm we left about 9.00am in steady rain. This rain kept up until we were the other side of Ararat. First stop was Horsham for a late lunch of some pumpkin and chicken and corn soup..

Having decided to stop about 4.00pm so we could set up and organise dinner the above park fitted the bill. It took an hour to set up which was much better than the 5 hours it took for the first time.

Dinner became a meal at the local pub with Parma and pasta dishes to feed the weary travellers.

Back to camp and a cuppa and a couple of games of Rummikub then off to bed. Guess what! We were in bed by 9.30.

A good night's sleep came to an end with the noise of some chooks wandering around the camper.

Long time since I have heard that. The chooks gave way to several hundred Galahs swarking as they circled the park making sure everyone was awake to see them. (Well maybe not hundreds but there was a lot of them)
