Were on our way at last... We camped last night at a great spot at Lock Nine on the Murray River about 50ks west of Mildura. We did very well I think, made ourselves dinner of steak & veg, cup of tea and into bed by 8:30pm as it was freezing cold. Got up about 8am had brekkie and packed up everything again ready to move on to our next port of call tonight. Not sure where it will be though...
Have just had a MacDonald’s for lunch... Ray felt like a SoyaCino, and they do make good ones that he knows he can have. It is a beautiful day again but boy, do they need rain out here!!!
We left home last Thursday week ago, and after spending a week travelling south visiting family in Woy Woy, Nowra, Wagga Wagga and Finley we are now on the road heading west. We have had a lovely week seeing Matt & Rhonda and Angus & Archie (grandsons), then Nowra where we caught up with Ray’s Mum (Maude) and his sister Dianne & Bob and brothers Bruce & Paul and friends Barry & Kerry. In Wagga we saw Richard & Jenni and our grand-daughters Laura & Elizabeth.
Our few days in Finley found Ray doing a bit more maintenance on the vehicle and trailer with the help of Daryl and Mick. Helen & I went to visit with Mum & Dad one day and also Helen’s daughters Jodie & Mat, Dana & Fiz and Lee came over to see us on Wednesday night. We were able to have a cuddle of little Mackenzie, Jo & Mat’s Bubs.
After the work the boys did on the trailer, it is now running very well and straight. We have been able to get everything packed up again as it was and is all travelling very well. Fuel here is not too bad, $1.74.9 at Caltex and $1.79.9 at BP. Mildura was about the same, as well. At the moment we are getting about 5.704 kilometres to the litre.
Well, I’ll say cheerio for now and hope all is well at home.

Looks very exciting
I didn't finish my comment, I meant to say looks very exciting but miss you both. Price of fuel is better than here!!! So enjoy yourselves! Jim is home again next weekend for the long weekend. Misty has settled down a lot, not barking as much now. Rain stopped for now, we had a good shower, watered all the gardens (and bloody trees) harvest was due to start in the next couple of days. Who would be a farmer? Love Janxxxxx
