Our Australia Day long weekend draws to a close and the all those pesky bandwidth polluting kids go back to school tomorrow!
The highways will clear of campers so Sandra set out this morning from Wangaratta on a 300km drive over the mountains to the coast in her Honda Jazz
The XZ-2 seems to be focusing quite well again now, btw ...
This is the first leg of her solo drive around Australia intending only to camp in her tent (no motels) along the way.
Personally I can't comprehend how she can do it but a woman who immediately after an adventure tour to Antarctica, backpacked alone
from the southern tip of Argentina through Chile and Peru for a 7 day trek over the Andes to Machu Picchu with a group half her age,
and take in a few other exotic destinations along the way, anything is possible!
Quote: Wikipedia - "Australia's Highway 1 is a network of highways that circumnavigate the Australian continent,
joining all mainland state capitals. At a total length of approximately 14,500 km (9,000 mi) it is the longest national highway in the world,
longer than the Trans-Siberian Highway (over 11,000 km or 6,800 mi) and the Trans-Canada Highway (8,030 km or 4,990 mi).
Every day more than a million people travel on a part of it."
