The road trip home 2024
Geelong to Sydenham
First stop was for gas which we had sussed out on the way down. I was nearly empty (by design) so I could fill up at 82.9c/l instead of 131.9c/l in Tasmania.
With the car full of gas, we made for Sydenham and breakfast with Teta Dusanka (thank you Teta).
Sydenham to Albury
We left Teta Dusanka’s after a beautiful breakfast (thanks Teta) and headed to Albury-Wodonga for gas and lunch…
A quick gas stop and some lunch (a chicken wrap full of svinje) and we were on our way…
Albury-Wodonga to Goulburn
Miles upon miles of highway driving. Put the cruise on 110kp/h, feet up and have a snooze… 🤣
Goulburn
We arrived in Goulburn, home of the BIG Merino, at around 1630 in the afternoon…
…made another fuel stop…
…and checked into our accommodation…
Once we had the car unpacked, we walked down to The Astor Hotel for dinner…
St Peter and Paul’s Old Cathedral, across the road from our accommodation in Goulburn.

Goulburn to Taree
We left Goulburn this morning at around 0545 after an early breakfast and we were lucky enough to witness the most magnificent sunrise…
Once daylight broke for good, we hit a little bit of Sydney morning peak hour as we traversed the M7 and M11 Highways…
Taree to Home
We stopped in at Taree for another fuel stop…
…then had a sneaky schnitty for lunch at the Exchange Hotel in Taree after the kebab shop next door smelled a little too ‘bleachy’ for our liking.
