We awoke to another stinking hot day. It was 32 degrees at 8am! As we had camped under no trees, we had to make do with sitting in the shade of Dory for our breakfast. We decided it was too hot and windy to do anything today so we went for a drive in the comfort of Dory and her air conditioning.

When we got back to camp it was still stinking hot so we decided to head for the air-conditioned pub, where we sat and drank coronas. When we left the pub, the cool change had come through and it was about 20 degrees cooler. It was a welcomed relief. There is also a total fire ban so we couldn’t cook our dinner so we had pizza.

We got back to camp where squealing Melbournian weekenders now surrounded us. After a few latecomers setting up camp in the dark and shining torches in our tent, it all went quiet and had a reasonable nights sleep.
