Crossing Victoria

Have book, will travel

We leave Melbourne, grey, cold and gloomy, about 12:30 on Friday. There is an accident on the Tullamarine Freeway which delays us a little, but once over the hills and on to the Goulburn Valley Highway the sky clears, the sun shines, the fields of rapeseed echoes the gold of the wattles, and we start to feel more relaxed.
We arrive at Goodfellows in Shepparton on schedule, the camper is waiting. We transfer our stuff from the car, sell a copy of the guide to Butch (Graham Goodfellow, the camper's owner), have a strengthening coffee and then drive to Tocumwal to visit Peter's sister, who gives us a delicious dinner and a very pleasant evening.
