We were rudely awoken at 7am by screeching cockatoos dive bombing our tent. The sun was still behind the trees and the tent was dewy wet. So much for an early start. It was 9am by the time our tent dried and we could pack it up. We had about 850km to travel to make it to Melbourne.

It was a pretty uneventful day. Mike drove, I read my book, we stopped for fuel, we stopped for food, Mike drove and I read my book, we stopped for fuel etc.

We arrived at the campsite in Melbourne at 8pm and put up the tent in the dark. Lucky we had put it up many times before.
