Final days of trip 2011

After leaving Sofala it was onto Bathurst and a spin around the race track with the caravan, it was a real eye opener to experience the steepness and the bends of the track. Of course we were going much, much slower than the racing cars but our Gps’s warning went off to say we were speeding down Conrod Straight, it only has a 60klm speed limit normally.
We stopped that night at Junee then the next day it was down to Cobram to catch up with some friends before stopping for the night at Shepparton. The next day (Friday) we travelled through Melbourne where we passed a new caravan yard and thought we would have a look around. We saw a van we liked and put the pressure on the salesman to get the rego permit required and the van detailed as we needed to be on the boat Sunday night. Saturday was spent swapping our gear from the old van to the new one, did not realise we had so much stuff packed in it.
We are now parked along Marine Parade Port Melbourne waiting to board the Spirit of Tasmania for the final leg of this trip.
