We've arrived at our little stop over at Lake Mulwala. I cant believe people ski here! There's a shit load of dead trees to dodge!

Our trip was uneventful apart from a few dickhead drivers and a blown stop light bulb. We even passed a &*#@ on the Hwy!

Car went well and we looked to have cracked about 28mpg with the Weber. Will recheck tomorrows figures after a couple more full tank averages.

All and all pretty good so far, dodged the rain but disappointingly we didn't see any other FB EK on the road. I was starting to wonder if I screwed up the dates!

Tomorrow Cowra! WooHoo.

There are a heap of us all staying at the same motel in Hay, along with a mob of HD/HR blokes on their way to Mildura for their nats, you will be happy to know that FB/EK owners can easily out drink HD/HR owners :D
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Looks like a fine day in this neck of the woods!! Really excited about Sunday ... if you see a large fella in a hat swinging a camera around on Sunday ... fair chances it will be me :)

Im hoping i might see some cars getting around Young today on their way to Cowra!
Anyone needing any items from a Harvey's store, call in and say g'day... were just across the road from the new supercheap auto store.

All the best everyone!
