Hi Everyone, We have arrived home safe and sound. What a great weekend, in a fabulous location. It 
took us 2 hrs to dismantle our tent. I wished I had put it up For Sale. We notched up 4500kms. Broke down going up through the Adelaide Hills. No 3 plug blew out. Bob put it back in and we free-wheeled down the hill to town. Just as well as Bob knew this hill well and we were staying at the bottom of it. We went to Ralf at VolksCare. What a great job they did. Tuning it so we could get on the road again. We saw family and friends in Adelaide and then set off to Melbourne. We stayed at the Ouyen Caravan Park too on our way to Bus Stop. The Manager’s cat presented us with a live mouse at dawn while we were preparing to leave. Driving to Ballarat on a 2 lane highway was nerve racking, so was driving through Melbourne in a Kombi. We left at dawn on Sunday. We have had every make of car and truck pass us during our journey. I have come home with Kombi ankles. I guess they will return to normal in a few days. Thank you Kombi family for your support and friendship. We realise that both Gertie and us are getting older and we can’t do these long road trips anymore, however we look forward to seeing everyone at Old Bar and the next Bus Stop. Photos to come soon. Gertie has been unpacked and is resting, waiting for Bob to see to her ailments. Bob and Sheryl. Xx
