A Circle

1st October – Thursday

A mild but overcast morning as we left Lakes Entrance for Melbourne. Fortunately, the road today was mostly flat and straight through Gippsland. The drought has definitely broken in this part of Victoria, with rivers in flood and the farms very green and lush – very happy looking cows, too.

We realised today we were definitely getting close to the “big smoke” as the number of trucks and cars increased, and the road widened to a four lane freeway. We soon switched the two way radios off – truck driver conversation generally leaves a little to be desired at times!

We stopped at Moe for a lunch break before the final run into Melbourne without any problems. The circle has been completed. Aunty Cath and Uncle Bill will be having dinner with us tonight, as this will probably be the only chance we will have to all get together this weekend.
