Renmark to Jerilderie

The final day of our journey had begun at the fuel bowser, getting 13.1L @ 152.7c/L.
Our travels today took us from the South-Australian/Victorian border through Mildura, Balranald and Moulamein to Deniliquin where we stopped for lunch with Lach’s grandparents.
The drive seemed pretty quick as we made our dash home, trying to avoid the cold wet weather the winter has brought us. Majority of our belongings have been in storage, however due to the plague of mice (and their apparent interest in nesting amongst our bits and pieces, we need to relocate our contents into a shipping container before we fly to Europe in 9 days.
We grabbed 13.0L @ 153.9c/L, before heading on our final stretch of bitumen towards the farm near Jerilderie.
After travelling 582km’s this day, we received a warm greeting from Lach’s dad, and many affectionate cuddles from our little dog Oscar – our Australian trip had come to an end.

It has been 80 days of fun around Australia. We have driven a total of 19,118 kilometres, requiring 2749 L’s of diesel, costing us around $4555. This meant we averaged around 14.4L per 100km’s!
Of the 80 days, we visited/camped in 21 national parks (cost $504), and stayed in a few caravan parks (cost $903), leaving the remaining 32 days as free-camps.
What a trip, and how lucky we are to be Australian! What a truly magnificent country – so fortunate to have shared this trip with each other, as well as with family and friends who have joined us on our journey reading about our travels. Thankyou!
