Border Run 23-Day 7

Huntly Resort VIC – Home-Corryong VIC

Another sleep in morning in a comfy bed….YAY!!!

The final leg today and it’s a short 392 kms to get home. Mick & Lynne are coming out for a ride too this morning and we decide to have breakfast in Violet Town.

It’s still fresh so we don our heated suits…have I mentioned how great they are and head out for a leisurely ride. Along the way is the Colbinabin Silo Art, so naturally again I have to stop for a pic.

Colbinabin Silo Art

What a beautiful morning to be out riding with great friends and before you know it we are in Violet Town parked up ready for breakfast.

Breakfast in Violet Town

I’ve been wanting poached eggs for breakfast for a couple of days now so actually get to have them. But before too long it is time to part ways and head home to Karl and Howie.

Up onto the freeway, through Wodonga and onto The Murray Valley Highway (a road I know very well these days), stopped for fuel in Tallangatta before the last spurt home. Other than getting to use a little bit of the sides of my tyres and dodging the potholes it wasn’t really anything exciting.

Into the driveway and parked  up at 2:03pm after completing a mammoth 4686.1 kms for the total trip. Dudley ticked over a nice round 119,000 kms and is due for a major service.

Great work Dudley.

So the wrap up

Total Kms: 4686.1

Accommodation costs: $563.50

Fuel costs: $645.39 (most expensive fuel was at Nullarbor Roadhouse at a whopping $2.98/lt)

Food/other: $297.02 kept this down by taking my own breakfast (porridge & milk), not having big lunches (just a pre-packed cheese & tomato sambo) and eating a reasonable evening meal.

Total cost: $1505.91

Not too bad for a 7 day travelling holiday.

Thanks for reading the journey of the Border Run 23.
