Eating up the miles

Well today we’ve done over 700KM (Can’t actually tell you without checking) but we’re about 20km east of Mildura.

Photos

So we had a coffee and breakfast in a fantastic place in Wagga Wagga – seemed to be the only place open. Wagga was simply stunning – so much more than I had expected. Fantastic wide, clean streets. Brand name stores, just a lovely country town, but not missing anything that a city would have.

We’re feeling really fresh and alert regardless of the distances, it’s certainly easy driving. We take every opportunity to stop and take photos.

We stumbled across Ron Clarke Steel Craftsman (or similar) next to the BP service station at Waddi.
To those who are not obsessed with the works of Charlie Boorman – he dropped in to this Ron Clarke guy in ‘By any means’. Maybe it’s just the celebrity connection, but either way I was soo impressed to just stumble upon this landmark – purely by chance!

We’ve stopped maybe 500M off the main highway, and the road instantly turned to this beautiful rich red sand.

I’m trying to upload a video of us preparing dinner. Home food is sooo good. You seem to feel far away from home when you’re continually eating foreign food, not hand made etc. However a simple sausages, mashed potato, gravy – so good. Sorry this post was late – fail Telstra… but more about that in the next post.
