Adelaide here we come! (Via Heathcote)

We spend the day packing up the car for our trip back to Adelaide. We have gone through the van and found all the things we will take back because we haven’t been using them. We didn’t find much. We have packed up and done all our washing and by the end of the day we are buggered.
We are up at 6.30am and have some quick brekky and a coffee and at 7.30am we are off. We have 1,625km to drive to get to Heathcote. We have decided to pick up the canoes which we left at Joe’s and take them back to Adelaide. We drive 840km today and end up at a place called Gind???. We have tea at the local services club and head out to a rest stop just out of town to sleep the night.
We did not wake up early and had a bit of a sleep in we still have over 800km to go but we don’t have to get there until Wednesday so we don’t have to travel as far. We get underway about 9.30am and we are off again. We have deliberately taken a slightly different route so we can see some more of Aus we haven’t driven through before.
We come across a truck accident where a road train has T-Boned a rig.
We are in Vic and have driven for 100’s of Km’s through Farming land mostly cereal crops they are all green and I hope they get some more rain to make them grow good. All of these areas have had good rains in the last month. We make it to Rutherglen which is on the Murray river and we stayed at the local Caravan Park for the night.
It is bloody cold at night but this is good preparation for Adelaide.
Another bit of a sleep in today so we are in a bit of a rush to get out by 10.00am We have 220km left to get to Joes and we head off. I have changed the GPS to take the shortest distance to Joes and this meant some offroad driving through gold fields. A little bit of making our wn roads but we get there. We pick up the canoes chuck them on the roof and we are off to Echuca.
