Day 28: Mon 7 Sep - Eidsvold to Home, 226km; total towed: 3 706km; total driven: 4 218km

15 - 26 degC

Once again we were up with the kookaburras and were on the road at 7:20am. Mindful of kangaroos, we took it easy and our first stop was at Biggenden for mornos without seeing a single live kangaroo. We stopped at Greg's favourite cafe in Biggenden, Coffee Pozzee, and had a coffee and carrot cake each before moving on.

Our second stop was at Childers for fuel. We were then on one of the better roads we've travelled on over the last four weeks and were home a smidge before 11am. The rest of the day was spent unpacking the van, and cleaning the inside (a very deep clean) and outside before putting it to bed in the shed about 4pm.

The rain was intermittent all day and assisted Greg as he was washing the outside of the van and the vehicle.

It is always nice to go away, and it is always nice to come home again. The kangaroos were here to welcome us home. Everything is looking really good thanks to the cool weather whilst we were away.

In between cleaning and rain, Greg picked about 2kg of mulberries; a nice surprise as we didn't even get one last year. All the fruit trees are in full bloom and fingers are crossed for a good crop.
