As some of you will know, I lost my husband last November, while in the middle of an open ended trip (four months in, 20,000k around top end of Qld) - anyway I had the need to come back to Melb, and decided to drive down minus the caravan. My grandson, 15, elected to come with me. I personally had never driven that distance before, but thought I could do it no worries.
Left
Kalbar on Tuesday last, and arrived at friends caravan park in
Porepunkah (near
Bright) on Wednesday late afternoon. Tired, but satisfied with myself.
Saw a lot of evidence of big waters in several rivers, some creeks that I have never seen water in, were flowing very rapidly - no water over road, but evidence that it had been there.
I will be driving back on my own (Josh has to fly back to go to school), but will take maybe five days or so, just take it very easy, maybe not use the Newell this time.
Anyway, I think
John would be proud of me for tackling it, and proving to myself that I am very capable.
Safe travels to anyone on the road.
