The End

Sunday 16th August 2009
The wind started to blow early in the morning and there was a little bit of rain but by the time we had breakfast most of the weather appeared to have passed. Although Alexander and Andrea would have liked to stay at the farm for a few more nights we left just after 9am to cover the last 300km of our trip. As we left the farm the rain started to come down really hard and we were right in amongst it until we reached Echuca. This was the heaviest and most rain we've seen in last three month. The trip back to Wodonga was very windy but otherwise uneventful. Arriving home after 3 month away was interesting, there were buildings we hadn't seen before and when we left it certainly wasn't anywhere near as green. For the last few days we've been in search of our house key as we couldn't remember where in the caravan we put it when we left. Luckily Ilse found it yesterday so we we can at least get in.
Arriving home we found the place still standing and emptied most of the caravan into the house, picked up the key to the shed (or so I thought) and then took the caravan over to Albury. However, the attempt to unlock the door failed as I had accidentally taken the wrong key! We had to go back to Wodonga, pick up the correct key, and go back to Albury. This time I had the right key, we parked the caravan and by 3pm left the shed, did some shopping and went home to put things away.
Our holiday has finally come to an end, the kids are writing the final entry into their journals and draw lines on a map to document where we've been.
Tomorrow life will continue where we left of three month ago but we are a few experiences richer and have seen how the other half of the country lives.
Although this is the last travel entry in this blog, I will write a short trip summary in the next few days.
