FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22     BAIRNSDALE TO HOME     303kms

We left the Bairnsdale park at 9.30 am and had a very normal run through Gippsland, with no further interruptions from the smoke alarm.

Had no stops at all. From the freeway turn off at Pakenham to home, via Eastlink and Canterbury Road, took us less than an hour. In fact, we were home, unhitched, parked up and unpacking within the hour. What a difference a freeway makes…

 Couey seemed a bit bewildered to be home.

I did some shopping and washed a basketful of dirty clothes, from Bus.

Of course, we were home in time for tomorrow’s pennant bowls, so John headed off to the club for a practice and to check the teams.

This had been a short but varied and enjoyable trip, one for which our Bus was the ideal rig. We had decided, during this trip, that we would have mud flaps fitted to the back of Bus, to help protect the Terios front which was showing some stone chips, and also to put a lockable fuel cap on Bus.
