Adelaide to Melbourne

Mon (9/9) We continued to head south on the Stuart Highway. Our destination for the day was Echunga in the Adelaide Hills and the home of my good friends Mary and Bill. We left behind the heat and wide open spaces in exchange for the cold and damp that is currently blanketing the Adelaide area. This is our first night in a house since we left home. Lovely to see Mary and Bill and their gorgeous rural property. Thank you for a great night!

We have now "bagged" our first complete road. We have "done" the Stuart Highway and bisected Australia.

Tue (10/9) We crossed into Victoria today.

It's still cold as evidenced by Mike's attire. 

A very pretty rural drive today compared with where we were a few days ago. The canola is so pretty.

We spent the night with Mike's friends John and Sherryn on their beautiful property between Ballarat and Geelong. Another lovely night with very dear friends. Thanks so much!

Wed (11/9) Today we drove into Melbourne and dropped the van at the Goldstream factory in Pakenham. We are staying with Mike's sister and brother-in-law Claire and Dennis in Glen Iris. We are very fortunate to have such wonderful friends and family to provide their loving support.

We are now in negotiations with Goldstream. So disappointing to see what has become of our trip.
