We can pack up in the rain without getting everything completely soaked. Well that is apart from us who are cold wet and muddy. We're treating the guys with a purchased breakfast.
Time passes...
Well breakfast consisted of 3 snags 2 eggs and a tomato and chips. $9.50. Kerrie shared with Sarah. This was at a petrol station in Jerilderie.
The trip to the border was uneventable. The trip from the boarder to Echuca was a little less so.
I am sorry to that the population of Macropus giganteus has been reduced.
There was a foggy drizzle and the driver glanced away at just the wrong time. The co-driver called a warning just before the victim impacted the front drivers side wheel. The trailing wheels proceeded over the victim.
We pulled over to assess damage as a police car who had been following us and had a front seat for the show stopped to clear the road. We checked the car and saw no damage (phew). The police pulled up to check how we were and reported the victim was killed on impact. The police were great. They had no issues and were understanding. They were concerned about any damage and our well being. Love Victorian cops.
So on into Echuca, taking more care to not be distracted. Sarah was a little sad, but understood how these things can happen.
The rain continued in Echuca. There were few visitors and understandingly the wood turner was doing some housekeeping, not turning. We were a little disappointed but we took the opertunity to visit Kerries cousin Bobby. She walks in a pharmacy and we took the opertunity to do some shopping whilst visiting.
We proceeded, taking the side roads towards Horsham.
We went through;
Logan
St Arnaud - great display in the visitors centre. Sarah loves the diararamas.
Rupanyup -we are camped at a brilliant community supported camp here. $10 for the night with toilets, water and power. It would have been at least $40. Got to love this free camp gig.
Tomorrow in to Naracoorte. Definitely.
