Rutherglen - crossed the border into Victoria!


Homeward bound! We decided to make our last stop Rutherglen as that was one of my mum and dad's favourtie road trip destinations and thought that was a fitting end. I can see why they loved it, really pretty town in a lovely spot. We were camped next to a wetlands area (where the boys made their bird hide!)
We went on a 20km bike ride past canola fields, oat farms, the Murray River and wineries. At night there was a camp fire that everyone sat around and had a wine and a chat before heading off to sort dinner out.
We're currently camped at Braybrook in Melbourne. The first day here we got Wil's tooth fixed and Andy came for dinner which was great. The next day we met up with Ange and beautiful Isaac in Williamstown where we went to see the Tall ships and had a lovely lunch and catch up! On the way home popped into Science Works. Its fun being a tourist in your home town!
Today we pack up and leave the van and car here in storage and head to the airport. Off to Bali to finish our adventure! We will be gone for 10 days and i will finish the blog with a Bali Post when we get back!
It's been an amazing trip : )
