Wollongong To Melbourne

Well we finally left Wollongong today. Yesterday we packed up hitched up the van to the car doing our check brakes 12volt etc to discover no 12volt lights. They were on off on- Ness had recently changed the plug, thinking she had wired it wrong pulled it all apart. No problem here- so it was a phone call to Stephen to ask him to drop in on his way home. The remainder of the day we sat and watched the news from New Zealand. Stephen fixed the problem again- thanks Stephen.

Our thoughts are with all our friends and their families who have connections with Christchurch.

And that brings us to now. Ness and I decided to do the coast road to Melbourne. So it was through Nowra, a quick stop at Milton for fuel and another stop for coffee just before Ulladulla and we are currently sitting at roadside stop south of Mogo about 130kms north of Bega, it is about 12noon. It is a nice peaceful stop with a fresh breeze blowing in the windows. There is a little bit of traffic and there is a bit of road work but nothing like up north of Sydney. The road condition isn’t too bad either overall.

We have decided to stop for the night south of Bega at Yellow Pinch Dam at this stage, which could change in the next hour. We not in a hurry and we want to have a bit of look at some of the country down this way.

I was given a car charge for the computer so I can write emails etc while we are driving without sending the battery flat- thanks Toni and Pete.

An apology to everyone we didn’t get to visit this time as there just wasn’t enough hours in the day. We will be in Tasmania for at least 12months- so everyone is invited to visit. Try and come between November and February as it can get very cold any other time- of course if you like the cold come in July.

I will keep you all up to date on our travels with photo as often as we can. Catch you all soon.
Ness and Michelle
