Well as you know we nearly missed the ferry. Thank you Louisa for the 'if you are not living close to the edge, you're taking up too much space' sentiment - quite right! Just like penguins on an ice flow.

You know the routine, drive until it's bedtime then pull off and pitch the tent, this is a bit earlier in the evening coming into Mildura for pizza for dinner.



We didn't get here until midday Monday, a bit later than the planned Sunday afternoon, then the weather held us up. The day we arrived was wet with very low cloud just like Tas. It's been bloody cold too, I have not worn so many clothes, woolly hats and gloves for a long time. I think we and the weather are ready for the off tomorrow morning the mountain of food has been sorted 10 days with us, another five days in the car for later and we will pick up another 10/12 days in Leigh Creek.



We all went for a walk up St Marys Peak yesterday, quite a long way up and a circuit of over 20km, a few of us are nursing aches and pains today.

Here is Mum on the summit.
