Gismo Queen and her King

Day 41 - Moulamein to Cohuna (Burke’s Bridge)

Back to where it all started!! Our first night in the caravan on this trip was here and now its the location for our last night together. We had a nice slow start to the day this morning as Peter had an 8:30am appointment in town to do some mechanical tweaks to his hitch, so I totally enjoyed watching the sun rise over the river with my coffee in bed! We headed off just after 9:30am as we certainly  didn’t have a big drive today. First stop was Koondruk for elevenses in the cafe we have all been to before, but which was closed when we tried to have elevenses there on our first day. Then to Cohuna for the all important dump point and then to our camp. We were all set up by lunch and had the fire going at the same time, as we are certainly noticing the cooler temperatures even though the days are lovely. Our afternoon was spent mooching around the fire, reading, drinking cuppa and generally relaxing before we put on our glad rags as we were going out for our last dinner together! Together with Rhonda and Peter’s daughter and family, we all met up at the Gunbower Hotel and enjoyed an excellent steak in front of an open fire washed down with plenty of wine! The past six weeks have been so lovely, we greatly appreciated the company and support of our travelling party - Neill and Jude and Rhonda and Peter. We’ve been to some new places, back to some familiar places,  caught up with family, eaten very well and laughed a lot. But, all good things must come to an end.
