We managed to get away almost on time and made good progress. The kids started fighting after half an hour on the road but we let them sort it out by themselves and they eventually settled down.
A couple of refueling stops and a brief lunchstop on the foreshore of Lake Boga (see picture) saw us arrive at Ouyen Caravan Park by 15:30 hrs.
In case you're wondering why there's no water in the photo - that's because there is NO water in Lake Boga.
Ouyen is famous for having the best Vanilla slice in Victoria, at least that's what Jeff Kennett said.
We have sampled the said Vanilla slice from the Mallee Bakery and we agree with - it's reputation is well deserved.
A few minor problems that revealed themselves during while driving were resolved at the caravan park and the onboard tools (battery drill, toolkit, ...) have already proven their worth.
For the technically minded: we're towing at 100km/hr and the car uses between 17 and 19 lt/hr (Diesel). Although we haven't been a weighbridge, I am fairly sure the allup weight (car + caravan) is around 4500kg.
Hopefully we'll have another early start tomorrow and we should get to Balhannah just after lunch.
