Hi All,
The last day of the current trip has arrived. Per usual todays story starts last night. I was goofing off on the computer in the car and Susan was down in the camp kitchen/lounge area watching TV. There was an odd flash of lightning but not enough to stir me into activity. When the rain started to fall i started to do the headless chicken act. Actually calling it rain does not do it justice, deluge would be better. Fortunately i had zipped the swag up tightly which kept the water out. However i then had to manoeuvre the car beside the swag to put out the awning. Not an easy task when it is dark, pissing down with rain and with no one to direct you. After hopping in and out of the car 10 times to get it positioned i blundered around and raised the awning as best i could. It immediately proceeded to catch about 5 litres of water until i was able to get the side stays tight enough. Of course i was soaked to the skin but since it was not cold it was of no consequence. Susan tells me it rained hard again in the night but we were dry and snug.
This morning we awoke to glorious sunshine so took our time having breakfast airing the swag and awning and packing up. We left around 1030 with the obligatory Maccas coffee break.
The rest of the journey home was uneventful apart from another thunderstorm at Truro.
We travelled the Northern Expressway for the first time. This delivered us rapidly to the roadworks and traffic jam at the South Road extension. A slow trip home along South Road saw us arrive about 330.
The house is very neat and tidy so a pat on the back to my son for his efforts. Thanks Jono!
We now face the joy of unpacking and a fairly hectic schedule of tasks to ready ourselves for the next trip.
This concludes the blog until we head out next time. Might post a few more pictures/ videos in the next couple of days for the masochists out there that want more.
Cheers for now Simon
