Back towards civilisation

Awoke by the animals, we packed all of our camping equipment into our Hyundai E10 hire car. We made sure we had left no trace of our campsite by the lake.

The trip dial on the car this morning will reach 1000km. We stopped in Tumit to stock up on essentials (cake!). Next a stop at Gundagai to visit their 360 degree viewpoint over the countryside.

We are travelling along Route 31, the Hume highway. For a major motorway leading to Sydney, there are hardly any cars! Then it started ... rain, and didn't stop. All day and all night!

We quickly stopped to make lunch under a picnic table shelter. We drove a lot only stopping again in Yass and at a shopping centre to grab something for dinner.

We abandoned camping, went back to our friends and sat in the covered hot tub whilst the rain continued throughout the night! Australian weather let us down ;-)
