The Last Leg! On the last Legs!

We came to the last leg of our Journey to Melbourne on this first trip in Trixie and could see ou destination on the open road ahead! 
From Jervis Bay we travelled the Princes FWY along beautiful national park trail and through green cow spotted pastures and along windy roads. 

I have to say though the concentration needed to manage these roads was far greater than that which you need to call on on the Pacific HWY or the mind numbing HUME it was so so beautiful and diverse in the landscapes offered up and the vivd colour and energy of Australia.

The trip brought back memories of my beloved and much missed Pa( my dad) who passed on a couple of years ago from a debilitating progressive motor neurone destructive disease and his jokes and quirky travel tales...

Every mountain range was the You Yangs and every turn was just around another to Peter Rabbits lair and each lost path a magical mystery tour of wonder and childhood enchantment..

Mostly Hunter just wanted a show on the ipad, to know if we were there yet, some relief from the road and to tell us he was bored!...in between spotting diggers and rollers and cranes on the laborious and all too common and interminable roadworks along the Princes HWY as we travelled south.

We did though stop off in some beautiful little old gold mining towns.. as well as some historical dairy country and met some lovely people and shared the oils with some too!!!
From  Bateman's Bay, Ulladulla, Sale and Bega, Narooma to Merimbula and on to Eden...where we crashed and dreamed for the final leg...the country side and quaint little towns with beautiful churches...delicious comfort food and woolie gloves to ease the freeze...this leg of the trip was my favourite.

I loved being able to sample our Beautiful Bakery friends with lemon and rosemary to fire up their memories and perk up there smiles! And we met a gorgeous couple who were living on the road in an amazing converted truck, and  there was great appreciation for the Ice blue rubbed into tired backs and aching shoulders!
By 5pm and peak hour traffic when we rolled into the driveway at my brothers house 15 minutes before they left for a family adventure in Greece I have to say Trixie, and we, were done!!!

SO excited for the next installment of this oily adventure and sharing the oils down south!!1

Stay tuned!!
