Day 5: Sun 13 Apr - Wooroolin to Home, drive: 207km; total driven: 415km

17 (Wooroolin) - 25 (Home) deg C; cold and drizzly at Wooroolin, to clouds, some rain, then brilliant sunshine at home

Ride: 0km

We awoke to a rather morose morning, so got up, completed the morning routine and had breakfast. We were packed up and on the road at 7:55am and stopped once beside the road on a pull-out for a pit stop. The highways were very busy and reminded us of why we don’t usually go away during school holidays. However, in the main, most drivers were very good.

We arrived home at 10:30am and had a coffee and hot cross bun before we did anything else. The van contents were unpacked and repacked into the house just before lunch. The van was put to bed after lunch as we had to allow the awning to dry out. Cleaning will be done prior to the next outing as it always gets dusty sitting in the shed. 

We had a really great 5 days/4 nights with five other like-minded people. We proved that our solar panels and batteries can easily re-charge our e-bikes, even with only a little bit of sun. The countryside around Wooroolin, Tingoora and Memerambi is beautiful - rolling hills; yes, it looks more spectacular now as it is green, however, we believe even if it was not so green, it would still look good.

Thank you again to Glen and Carmel for inviting us, and to Greg, Karen and Mark for making it a great team.
