Day 142: Bendigo to Jugiong

We left Bendigo at 8:10 and drove through some small Victorian towns - Heathcote (a lot of wineries in area), went past Puckapunyal, Seymour (had breakfast for Father's Day at a small cafe), and then joined the Hume Highway which was two lanes each way all the way to the NSW border where we went through the outskirts of Albury/Wodonga and crossed the Murray for the last time this trip.

We had lunch at Holbrook where we noticed a lot of cars with skis - they drive up to Thedbo from the western side of the range. It was then on to a quick stop at Gundagai where we said hello to the dog on the tuckerbox (which was five miles out of Gundagai) and now we are at a small town, Jugiong, on the banks of the Murrumbidgee where we are free camping in the showgrounds.

Tomorrow morning we will arrive in Canberra but we won't see Brad until Tuesday as he arrives back in Australia tomorrow night from New Zealand where he went for the week-end.  Simone returns on Friday.
