A grader came in to use the loos....driver told me the road in was impassible to get out to Cherrypool and best get out Wednesday via Balmoral...I told the ladies who already were going to go via there to get to Hamilton
Tuesday 24th Day10
Spent day packing up the shower tent and cooked meal on the choofer and used what wood we had collected for an early start...wednesday as it was suppose to be stormy weather and we might not get out
Wednesday 25th Day11
Well we packed up and headed off 8am...man the road to Balmoral was a bone shaker...corrugated..but no sand traps... we were told the Cherrypool rd was bad..we lost track on the kangaroo count on way out....I was getting low on diesel so we thought we would get some a Balmoral...but wasnt any.....the GPS....sent us to another planet ...but Rosie found our way via map book...we headed north thinking we could get fuel at Natimuk...but none there..so on to Horsham..I think the pajero must been running on fumes as we now done 160klm..on less 1/4 tank towing....we paid $129.9lt and got 87 ltrs...not bad as the pajero only holds 90ltrs
Fueled up so we headed west....first stop was Dimboola CP..but wasnt great place at $30 a night powered....so next stop was Nhill CP $24..seniors discount.. powered...stayed the night...heading home tomorrow
