Day 31 - Ariah Park (NSW) to Euroa (VIC) - Wednesday 29 May 2024
Happy 40th Birthday, Clare!! For the second time this trip, we have gatecrashed a significant birthday celebration! Fortunately, we both really like both people (the 70th birthday person and the 40th birthday person) and it was a great excuse to wear my champagne glass earrings!
It was a cold morning in Ariah Park this morning so thankfully we had the heater running all night. On the road by 9am as we had 374km to cover today. We took the back roads which is always more interesting and has a lot less traffic. Morning tea was at The Rock, a quaint small town with a saddle shaped rock overhanging the town. We stopped at the recreation ground which was surrounded by a white picket fence, reminding us of our wedding venue. The sun was shining so we felt virtuous to still be wearing shorts! Back on the road, through some more small towns via back roads, we stopped for fuel and lunch in Howlong. The bakery was a satisfactory destination for lunch and from there it was a pretty easy drive once we hit the Hume Freeway.
Neill and Jude peeled off just before Euroa and we continued into the caravan park where we have booked for two nights, including a special visit tomorrow. It was nice to get out of the car and we have a lovely site right on the river so we got all set up before afternoon tea.
To celebrate Clare’s birthday, we joined the family for a lovely dinner at the Seven Creeks Hotel. It was wonderful to see the girls - 4YO Chloe has been a favourite of mine ever since they came to visit us in Tassie and I must admit, it’s nice to have a little fan. We will see her again tomorrow. A lovely end to the day, although also highlighting that we are very close to the end of our trip :-(

From the 70th birthday person, love those champagne earrings although I thought they got a bit of a hard time at the hair salon. Could not have better gate crashing guests.
