The skies were clear and the sun shone with a mild ferocity, enough to have the sweat running from our brows during pack up. We took our time so that the canvas was well dry, as the camper will be packed up now for a good while methinks. Swag nights on the way home, 1 night at a time.
I decided to drive today, I get out of practice being passenger all of the time, I think Simon would agree that after all the kilometres travelled I am not yet cured of my nervous passengerisms, but I am much improved. We travelled just over 200kms today, deciding on the Snowy Mountains Highway rather than the Alpine Way, as Simon's recollections of the road in 1969 was scary, mind you he was 11 years old and in the back seat, in a car without all today’s modern comforts.
We lunched in Cooma and had a look in the camping shop, buying nothing, but I did discover the Exped double sleeping bag is available in Australia. We stopped off at Black Perry Lookout at Kosciuszko National Park to breathe in the delicious crisp mountain air.
Our camp for the night near Talbingo is next to a babbling brook, unfortunately there are hordes of flies small pesky ones and grotesque large march flies. Tea after sundown just before the mossies became too annoying.
