Thought we were heading for disaster yesterday. Filled up with diesel before leaving Jindabyne. Got to Adaminiby and the dash lit up with an alarm and a message that the fuel filter needed maintenance.

Thought, bugger, bad diesel. Rang Toyota in Cooma and they said just drive it here which we did. New filters and a system flush and we were back on the road again late in the afternoon.

Headed up the mountain and set up camp back at Yarrangobilly as we did last week. Knew it was going to be a cold night so set the heater to keep us warm for the night.

Around midnight the heater cut out. Bugger, with all the issues with the car had forgotten to fill up the heater diesel tank.

Woke up feeling cool just after 2.00 am. Got up to go for a pee and the temp gauge said -5 degrees. After tossing and turning for a while said to Maggie we are going to be warmer driving in the car, let's get out of here so we did and headed towards Victoria at 2.30 am.

Currently at Granthams Bend camping reserve on the Murray River near Corowa. Nice free camp on the banks of the river with no facilities

Good thinking to warm up travelling. I would normally call you a woos, but -5 does give your actions credibility Cheesy

Beautiful, Calm surroundings to cook up dinner Smiley

Those camp sites along the Murray River just make you want to sit back and relax.

Headed south yesterday towards Bendigo as we wanted to visit the Bendigo Woolen Mill which we did today.

Stayed last night at a roadside stop called the Lions Park in Huntley just north of Bendigo.

Nice stop where there are good clean toilets, fresg watr on tap and a few shelter sheds.

Even more amazing is that the Bendigo Pizza bus pulled in just before dark and set up. Pizzas were $10 each so that is what we had for dinner
