  • The road back from Gundagai

    Woke up and it looked like we were in The Big Smoke already. Without much ado we simply repacd the car and drove off back along the Hume Highway to Sydney.

  • Peaches and apricots

    It’s time to head home. Pack, clean and fight with Kita to get the harness fitted. I drive the motorways through Geelong and around Melbourne until we are finally on the Hume.

  • Mussel bound

    It’s nice to sit on a couch a read a book in the morning. After a breakfast of bacon and eggs we drove down towards Queenscliff in the hope of finding a suitable bicycle hire place.

    As we were going to bed last night we received notification that the Hume Highway was closed between Coolac and Tumbarumba. We were cut off. The only traffic were fire engines and police, red and white lights flashing through the clouds of dust and smoke swept up by the gusty winds. Needless to say, it… Read more

    Gunna Gundagai

    The Hume Highway is closed in both directions and I’ve been receiving emergency warnings for fires to the south of us. When I walked Kita out for his business I saw fire engines racing south, lights flashing, and a police car speeding north. The dust clouds can be seen blowing in the gusty winds under… Read more

  • On the road to Gundagai

    “There’s a track winding back to an o-old fashioned shack, along the road to Gundagai” – Slim Dusty Look, I’m no fan of Slim Dusty, but it certainly is dusty in Gundagai, the town more famous for the Dog on the Tuckerbox. There was a dog beside the bag of tucker at the Hungry Jack’s… Read more
