MT - we did manage to pick up the car, but the timing ended up being so tight we just had to scoot out of Melbourne and head north(ish) - We will be back, with a more relaxed schedule!

The flight out of Sydney on Friday got caught up in the thunderstorms, so it eventually left 3 hours late, which meant that we didn't get settled into our hotel until gone 2am. We had a slow start to the day, did a little shopping, had some breakfast before picking up the car and heading out to the east - we spent the night on a farm stay in East Gippsland just north of a town called "Seldom Seen" then set off again on Sunday morning through Little River Gorge, over McKillop's bridge towards Bonang where we picked up the tarmac roads again towards Cooma and Canberra.

This made for a long weekend in the car, which Beth tolerated amazingly well - probably better than we did...still it's nice to be home now!

Gotta go get ready for work - hope you all have a good one!
