G'day Dave
Thanks for the comments. I'm glad that you enjoyed reading the update and that you found it the best of the trip. In a funny way the problems contributed to making this one of the most memorable few weeks yet. It was only afterwards when I realised how quickly those three weeks passed by that I realised how much I enjoyed it all!

I'm now driving the Great Ocean Road on my route from Sydney - Canberra - Melbourne - Adelaide and, I have to say, this is one awesome awesome road. It sums up what I love about Australia perfectly. But you'll have to wait for the next update to hear why!
