Gismo Queen and her King

Whipstick to Fairhaven - Wednesday 10 July 2019

It rained in the night so we were very lucky with your last night around the campfire.


We headed off in separate directions just after 9am although we were meeting up without vans at the beach later today. Our first stop was our friendly caravan repair man in Bendigo - another full circle given we visited him on our first day as well! - to fix the disintegrated shower hatch. Paul was as helpful as ever and we were back on the road within 15 minutes.


Elevenses was in the small town of Harcourt on the Calder, mainly because it had a dump point. The wind was starting to pick up - there is some horrible weather predicted for the next few days. So we were pleased we weren't towing the van our whole driving distance today. It was only a little while later that we pulled into Greg's brother's driveway and unhitched. The van was staying here for a few days. Popping into the house, we met up with Doug and Ruth and kids again before they headed out. We did some packing and van preparation and were back on the road again after lunch.


The wind was buffetting the can so we were very glad we didn't have the van on. It was more than a couple of hours driving down so it was pretty exciting to pull into Neill and Jude's new house on their old block. We enjoyed the toour, admired the build quality and settled in for our usual nightly routine - just inside with a fake fire while the wind howled and rain poured outside. What good timing!
