Day 40-41 Bathurst Seemed a sunny but cool day Wednesday, so opened up the canvas on the CT to dry it out – job done by the afternoon. Went to SCA in the morning to pick up some red juice for radiator – Graham (owner of the cottages) let me park around near his shed to fix the radiator hose. Doug came around to the cottage for lunch, so had a good chat for a couple of hours. Also Courtney and Nyrie (Laura’s mates from Whistler) were able to come round for a catch up in the afternoon – lovely to see them both. Went to the Mt Panorama Motor Museum in the afternoon. Thursday, went over to Kelso to have a quick cuppa with Paula, then over to see Tom and Rachel and Lucy. Toured the Mineral and Fossil Collection, then had lunch at Country Coffee. Day 42 – Bathurst to Melbourne. Started a bit late, as had issues connecting the truck and CT – had to use the hi-lift again, in the rain. Long run of 755Km – took 9.5 hours to get home, raining most of the way. Bit tired when we got home, so left the CT out the front for a wash in the morning, unpacked the essentials, and checked out the newly painted (inside) house. Nice job Peter the Perfect Painter. Place needs a good clean (dust) and heaps of furniture/blinds/fittings etc to refit, but paintwork is sensational. Total distance = 13,770 Kms over 6 weeks. Very happy with CT, but next trip will be in warmer/drier months, and each stop will be 3 days minimum. Thanks to all for your comments, and for watching our travels.
