Victor Harbour - Mildura
Today was the first of two big days of driving; we left Victor Harbour and started heading back east.
Leaving South Australia was highlighted by a huge Dunlop tyre arch (presumably stolen from the last F1 grand prix) which emphasised the state’s phyloxxera-free status. Annoyingly the speed limit changed back to 100km/hr; no longer could we cruise along carefree at 110…
Wildlife watch: pretty much just a hawk flying overhead, and a kangaroo on the side of the road.
We arrived in Mildura late afternoon, after travelling about 440km. This town is rather larger than we were expecting, but the flies were annoying enough that we didn’t explore too much. It was rather nice to have a beer from the microbrewery in the centre, though.
