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 …
