The drive to Wollongong from The Entrance took more than 5 hours. After settling into our accommodation we visited Michael and Shane Meehan for late afternoon tea (astonishingly where they live is an apartment right next door to us).
Yesterday we had lunch with Dr Robert Davey and his staff at the office of PhD Engineering. He was in fine spirits and looking forward to relocating to the new business premises in December or January.
In the evening we were invited by Doug and Sheelah Boleyn to have dinner at their home. We shared a pleasant evening enjoying Sheelah's culinary skills and swapped notes about our travels.
To our surprise, both Robert and Doug indicated that David Martin knew of the day and time of our meetings in advance!
It was such a cold day with rain and a freezing wind, and after hearing the weather forecast for the coast of NSW over the next few days, we decided that we would rather be in our warm house at home than continuing with more travels in extremely low temperatures. So we cancelled our bookings for Narooma and Merimbula, asked Melissa to find accommodation in Albury for one night, and headed inland down the Illawarra Hwy and on to the Hume Highway. Excellent roads and we made good time. Stopped for lunch at a quaint little cafe and gift shop just off the highway at Jugiong which Doug had recommended.
Tomorrow we will drive to Eildon to move the barge and then straight to the comforts of home. Looking forward to a king sized bed, a familiar kitchen, and hot showers.
By the time we reach home we will have driven a total of more than 5,500 Km on this trip.
Next door to the wine cellar, where we purchased lunch and some country wares and goodies.
