Before leaving town in the morning we drove over to the Brambuk Cultural centre in Halls Gap. We picked up a couple of souvenirs and looked through their Aboriginal exhibit before grabbing a coffee and heading out of town. I figure we need to do at least 200 km a day till we get back to Brisbane if we want to keep on schedule to get to Cairns (pronounce it Cans). We drove through Ararat, Maryborough and Bendigo, ending up in Echuca for the night. We did a total of 375km for the day. We were shooting for a free site on the banks of the mighty Murray river but we could not find it. We ended up at a caravan park, called Yarraby's, for $38.00! Oh well, it had nice showers and friendly neighbours (Ivan on one side and Alan on the other). We heated up some pasta in the shelter and had a nice salad with brocolli and cauliflower added. The night sky was really clear with the southern cross and the milkyway were brilliant. They had a container for recycle material, which is really unusual. There is not a lot of recycling going on down here. Part of the problem is there is zero refund on cans and bottle so, even if there is a recycle bin for these things, most people just chuck it in with the rest for the garbage. As far as paper, cardboard or glass... good luck finding a place to recycle it.

We did not take a lot of pictures today as we were just trying to put in the kilometers. Unfortunately it is not always about sight seeing. Some days it is all about putting in the kilometers!
