Our original plan leaving Sydney was to spend some time travelling north through the central lakes district and Newastle unfortunately a large storm cut its way through that area. The reports of widespread flooding as well as major power cuts forced us to change our plan with us more concerned over the main highways being passable.
Leaving Shepparton we headed back towards the Hume Hwy then continued our journey towards Sydney. I've always wanted to drive the complete length of the Hume Hwy just to see what it is like and say "Been There Done That"
The night at the BP Service Centre was a little restless we had forgotton how busy they were especially with trucks. Still it was most likely quiet compared to if it was a normal work day and not a public holiday.
Returning to Burnie from Strahan and Queenstown signalled the last major attraction we wanted to see. We now had about 10 days before departing this fair state back to the mainland.
We have found living in a caravan is like living in a house in that after a while you need a change of scenery as hard as is to believe we wanted a small break from living in the van.
