Monday 27th February - Yackandandah to Bruthen

Still raining when we woke this morning.  Because Bill had hooked up the van last night it was one less thing we had to worrry about this morning.  We left the park, in the rain, at about 9:00.  We came home via Myrtleford, Porepunkah, Bright, Harrietville, Mount Hotham, Omeo, Swifts Creek and Ensay.
We stopped at Harrietville for an early lunch.  As we walked into the cafe a bikie sitting outside said "I wouldn't like to be towing that up the mountain today.  It's horrendous.  Fog so thick you can't see."  Of course that filled me with confidence no end!  Bill assured him we'd be OK as he knew the road fairly well.
Well, the bikie was right.  The fog was horrible.  We didn't get above 35km/hr the whole way.  Eventually we reached Omeo and the fog cleared.  But by the time we got to Ensay the rain came back, and it rained the rest of the way home!
It was good to be home, although it had been an enjoyable holiday all round.  Lots of new places and things to see, and a few repeat performances.

Sunday 4th September

FATHER'S DAY and MITCHELL'S BIRTHDAY
We rang Mitchell to say Happy Birthday, had given him his presents before we went to Mildura in case we didn't end up coming back via Bendigo.
Had breakfast in the unit, and spent a bit of time with Karen before we finally left about 10:30.
Had a good trip home. Stopped for petrol and a bite to eat at the Calder Service Centre.  Continued on and stopped again at the Longwarry Service Centre.
Arrived home about 5:45 after a quick stop in Bairnsdale to pick up some milk.
All in all an enjoyable holiday with superb weather.  New places to see - although both Bill and I had been to Swan Hill and Mildura years ago.  So long ago for me that I was still a kid and my memories of Mildura itself were way off beam.  And we have never been there together.
Would we go back - probably, although there are a lot of other places I'd like to visit before thinking about going back.
