I did one detour today - went off the highway and into Mallacoota - very pretty indeed - a bit like 1770 actually.
I have not mentioned in previous post, but I picked up a travelling companion in Bathurst and he will likely stay with me for the entire trip. It was very hlpful having someone else in the car this afternoon on that long seemingly long stretch from Cann River to Bairnsdale - it caught me by surprise last time I travelled it and same today. Well the company was good - we played a game - he waved at oncoming cars when they came into sight. I have taken some pics of Pav - see below..
There is a lot of traffic heading east through Sale - I am glad I stopped for the night. I will cruise into Melbourne early afternoon I expect - without too much traffic.
The squeak I used to have in the back passenger rear of the car has re-emerged today. It had been silent for 4000km (the distance travelled since I last had it looked at but they couldn't find anything except a cracked engine pipe and collapsing catalytic converter) - oh well - I am not really worried - it is just a nuisance factor.
Music - I think that Goanna's live version of Solid Rock has covered the MOST kms, followed by lady Gaga's Bad Romance - its the detail that counts.

Sounds lovely. Great to hear you have company too that is very important when on long drives, tell me is there a meaning in the name of this helpful little fellow? I am trying to picture Pav taking pictures! Unusual for you to have a fella in the car! Anyway nice pics. also saw the ones on facebook.
