You know you're in the country when........

Stopped at Balranald for the night and went to the restaurant and ordered steak and veggies. A platter - not a plate - a platter came with half a cow and cabbage and roast potato and corn cob and carrot and peas and broccoli and cauliflower cheese and pumpkin and mashed potato. Now that's what I call steak and veggies.

Was up at 5.30 am to pack the car before the removalists got there. I helped carry 12 million (small) boxes so got quite a workout. They finally finished and took off and I was on the road just before noon. It was a brilliant day weather wise and also health wise. No fatigue at all - even with all the carrying of boxes. Managed 584 kms before it started to get dark. Quite good under the circumstances.

The drive itself was good - warm sunny day and  lovely countryside - especially a big lake at Tooleybuc

Totally pooped now so time to pump out some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's
