I made it to Myponga in about 9.5 hours. I left Melbourne at 9.30 am after a rotten night's sleep.
An audio book kept me company - listened to Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall - it's 24 hours long and I've been consuming it over the last few weeks. There's now about 45 minute to go of the book. I have Tim Robbins reading Farenheit 451 for the way back. Looking for respectable podcasts for when I drive around Adelaide.
I made five stops on the way.
Ararat for a pee break at the service.
Kaniva for five minutes to take a photo of the silos.
Bordertown for petrol and lunch - a decent longer break.
Coonalpyn to take a photo of the silos.
Then rolled into my mother's place at 6.30, to find that my cat hadn't forgotten me, though he gave me a bite to tell me that he was a bit miffed. He also hung around a lot, coming out, coming up for pats and generally being a sook. So it seems he still loves me - sort of.
Mum also had a house full of people, so after a 9.5 hour drive I had to sit down and talk for a few hours.
Needless to say, I'm knackered.
And I'll do all this in reverse on Tuesday.
Fun
