Around Australia Trip

Day 58 Thursday 14th June

Well after a great night at Anthony's house , we said our goodbyes and headed back to our van park.
very cold night, lots of cuddling going on!!!!
Overnight low of 4 Deg, high today of only 17, don't let anyone tell me that Melbourne is cold!!!
Left this park behind us,we were not very impressed! It was supposed to be a 4 star, I would have given it 1 star. The toilets and showers were prehistoric!!!
We started this trip south, by going to Macca's to do the webb page thing. After that we got on the Freeway to the Hume and got off at the Wollongong exit, so as to get to Mollymook, to see Graham Hepburn.
On the way down the rain absolutely bucketed down most of the way.
got to Heppy's place, had a nice chat, but we decided not to stay as it was P....ing down there too!!! He said that they had already received over an inch of rain!!! We didn't stay as by then we had made the decision to get home asap!!
We left Heppy and to say we enjoyed the drive from there on , would be an understatement. We had everything that Mother Nature could throw at us except snow! The hail stones were as big as golf balls and i was panicking that they would damage the van!!! The rain was horrendous, could hardly see where we were going.
Then the big one, as it got dark the lights on the Van started flickering. Then boom we lost the lt except for the cars headlights. Lucky for us, at that stage we were only 20 kl m's from Bega. So i pushed on throughn the storm until we reached the park at Bega!
Brenda's face was one of great relief as we pulled in. Mind you I was quite happy myself. What amazes me though, is the semi drivers they still barrel along at 100Klm's and the conditions don't even faze them!!

So before we go anywhere in the A.M. I will have to try and fix the lights, which i am hoping is only a fuse!!
To top all that off, the rain once again has leaked in via the wheel arch and soaked the carpets. BUGGER!!!!
The rain continued for most of the night, thankfully we were on a concrete slab, but all the grass around us was under water.
I know we need the rain, but not all at once!!!!
