But mission accomplished I again returned to Camden.<br><br> The last day here I spent preparing myself and the car for the sprint back to the west coast, planning the route and making sure I had enough food, drink and clean clothes for the duration as I only intended to stop one night wherever possible.

Jeg gjorde ikke så mye spesielt, gikk rundt omkring, i museer og parker men stemningen er veldig avslappet til tross for at det er en storby. Jeg tok meg en dagstur vestover fra Melbourne, mot Adelaide på det som heter Great Ocean Road. Bygget av soldater som returnerte fra første ...
