Soggy Melbourne

Sunday, 29th September, 2013



Today is the final day of this year’s caravan journey – we board the Spirit of Tasmania tonight for our return to Tasmania.

The weather we have encountered in Melbourne has been the worst we have experienced on this trip – rain, more rain, gale force winds and chillingly cold.  Not good conditions, considering our winter clothes were packed away many months ago!

Friday was mainly a retail day, with a very important birthday present to find for Jack, a visit to the Jayco factory for a couple of hinges (and to learn that there will probably be a complete new model of Jayco caravans released next year) and then some time at Chadstone Shopping Centre.

Saturday morning, we had the opportunity to visit my cousins, Sue and Gary, at their new property which is only a short distance from the caravan park.  The afternoon was spent in front of a large television (of course!) in the recreation room watching the AFL Grand Final.  Les and Cat were very loyal and wore their red and white scarves, while Barry made an all out effort to support the Hawks.

The wind and rain finally abated overnight, but the ground is very wet and muddy.  Some of us are hoping that the seas have settled down as well.

Until next year …
