Pakenham

The next adventure begins. This time we head to NSW Sapphire Coast for dog shows and trials. We started out on Thursday at 6:00 o'clock. PM not AM. I had commitments that prevented us leaving earlier, but we got as far as Tailem Bend for the first night. On Friday we left Tailem Bend at 9:00 am, had we started from home we would have had to start out before 7:00am, which is impossible for us. (If it is dark, you should be in bed.) The Pic shows the Murray River Flood Plain at Tailem Bend.

Friday and Saturday nights we were at Warrnambool for Hannah's first shows, and first 12 points too. We stayed on the Showgrounds and got a free nights entertainment from the greyhound track at the back of the caravan.

We left after the show so we could get through Melbourne on Sunday; hoping for less traffic. It worked, except for a rear ender a couple of cars in front that made us brake hard, and a P plater playing Guess Which Lane I'm Going To Next on the West Gate Freeway. We are in Pakenham for one night, who knows where tomorrow.

Preparing for the next trip

Why would you have a caravan and leave it in the yard? Well mainly because we have had a few things to do. I have put a Radio/CD player in the caravan so that when we are in a remote area we can listen to the ABC radio for all the local news, local activities and any weather, fire or flood warnings.
All the warranty issues have been fixed. We just take it to Jayco Service, tell them what is wrong and they ring us back when it is fixed.
Next trip in February will be to the NSW south coast, provided the roads are open and the floods have gone down. Maybe this time we can catch up with relatives in Sydney.
