Border Run 23-Day 6

Mildura tVIC o Fatman & LTP Huntly Resort VIC

Thankfully this morning there was no frost and I got my sleep in til 7am which I thought was a bit rude as I could’ve slept a bit longer. All packed up again and load Dudley before getting away around 8ish into another beautiful sunny but fresh day. Once again the heated suit is plugged in and turned on.

It’s so lovely out here, once you get past Red Cliffs and the vineyards and fruit fields, all the land is either grazing or Canola fields for miles and miles. The road surfaces along the A79 – Calder Highway isn’t as nice as the roads I’ve travelled and there is a lot more traffic using these roads.

Every time I travel through Ouyen, the bakery is closed but not today so I stop for a coffee and say g’day to some old fella and his dog…who clearly wanted to have a chat but I just wanted to have a peaceful coffee and get going.

Into Sea Lake and I notice there is new to me Silo Art so naturally I had to stop for a pic.

Back on the road and the speed limit drops to 100kph for the rest of the days ride.

Fuel in Wycheproof and chat to Fatman and arrange to meet for lunch in Marong at the bakery.

We are stopped by a road train in Charlton

Busy little lunch town of Marong and Fatman & LTP are there waiting for me. Nice easy lunch, pie and milkshake.

A short 15 minutes to the Fatman & LTP Huntly Resort for the night where Dudley gets a nice warm garage to sleep in, I get a comfy bed and a home cooked meal, super-hot shower and fabulous company……what more could you ask for.  Thanks heaps guys, you’re the best!!!
