Day 6 in Oz

Woke up at 7:30am ready to leave early for a road trip. Got a phone call from Beth at 8 saying Maria hadn’t even left the house yet 😒

Finally picked them up from the station at 9:40. Drove two and a half hours to Grampians National Park. Windy road up the mountain to the v cool Boroka lookout. On to Mackenzie falls. Had a picnic lunch at the top of the falls.

Left the grampians to head for mount Gambier. Had to stop at the most hilarious traffic light; no cars around and hadn’t been civilisation for miles and then just one random red light. Eventually went green and turned out there was a lane closure, not that any cars were coming the other way. Got down to quarter of a tank of fuel so searched for the nearest petrol station. Twenty minutes away, probs gonna make it…got there and there was a little tiny pump like the ones I’d seen in Kenya, covered in cobwebs, in the middle of a little tiny town where every single shop was shut and looked like no one had been there for about twenty years. Like in the film cars. Apparently there’s a BP another twenty minutes away, let’s hope this one is from the 21st century. Unfortunately not but thank the lord there is an open one 2km down the road.

Carried on the mount gambier and got some food before seeing the sink hole and blue lake.

Drove to Warrnambool. Saw loads of wallabies on the way, crazy cool. Managed to get into a hostel at like 11:30 just before they closed up. Drank some goon before bed.
