Hello our round trip From Echuca to Charleville ,St George,to Echuca.Via Lightning Ridge etc was wonderful .Albeit cut short due to our needs as G/parents and being reqd in melb for caretaking duties for a sickie, but thats what we do isn,t it .! We did 800 kays today from the Ridge to a tiny town called Goolgowi near Hay .We stayed here last year ,its a council park with pristine ammenities and for $22.50 its a bargain .Best part is you have to go to the pub to book in ! Er hello thats the Pub !! I mean really ,we arrived at the park on dusk and you make yourself at home with power and water .then go to the pub and sign in .....sounds easy ....wrong ! its friday night so its fresh pizza night ! so we stay ,plus its raffle night too ,bugger, were in ! Well fair dinkum the pizza was huge and we had a gutfull of grog and 800 kays under the belt, we are shagged out .So as we speak I type just prior to hitting the cot and the barman will ring me if we win a prize . What a great way to finish a journey .just over 3000 kays and my new Mc hitch etc was fabulous, the mirror stayed in place and the new parks were wonderful.But most importantly was we we spent a ****load of money into small towns that could do with a Quid! and that makes us feel good about us .THE END John and Heather .

So glad you enjoyed the trip and yes a great way to finish. The way you signed of with "THE END" sounds very final, hope you will stay in contact with us all. I am sure you learnt some valuable stuff and found some incredible places that you could share.

You have had a great trip for sure John and Heather and all worked as you wanted. Good to see a good report about the "Mc Hitch" too. I reckon one will find it's way on front of whatever my new den is for sure. It was great following your journey.

What you describe is why we bought a van, the ability to get out of the city, visit some real communities (cities don't have communities anymore, you are just part of an economy), meet real people, and just have a great time.
