Cold wet and miserable when we packed and left Junee.

Headed to Beachworth but no area to park, town near full with angled parked cars. Headed on to Wangaratta but been too much rain and did not trust getting into the freedom camps. All creeks had water flowing to just below the top of the banks. Country side was water logged and still rain forecasted to fall.

Headed to Shepparton via Beralia, started to get tired and pulled into a rest stop about 40 klm east of Shepparton. Busy road with a lot of trucks but have learnt to just put the noise outside. Reasonable night sleep and a fair bit of evening rain.

Onto Ballarat today but with the amount of rain and water logged ground making caravan parks a mud hole we might head home early. Cheers Robert

It is still wet here at Junee. Currently 6.9 but feels like 3.9.

Still waiting for the extra solar panel to arrive but enjoying our time on the farm with Mark & Patrya.

To late now but Brown Brothers winery just out of Wangaratta would have been a good stop for you. You park up in their car park.

Not sure when we will leave as the tracking for the solar panel stopped when it left Perth by road. Supposed to be road express whatever that may be.

I am still playing with my battery. Was down to just under 50% after the last 2 days with overcast and rain so flicked on my mains charger and she is currently throwing in 38.7 amps.

Take care on the wet roads mate.

Two hours and back to 100%. As we discussed at Condobolin a small generator for this would be great when free camping.

Hi Derek yes 2 hours on the rd is enough to bring mine back up as well. Will look at a 800watt when back home. Weight ans size good compared to the 2.2kw inverter one at home.

This may be worth looking at https://outbax.com.au/miniature-gentrax-1kw-inverter-generator?gclid=CjwKCAjwp6C...

That is interesting as according to the specs way quieter than the Honda 2 I have at home.

I have one of those generators. Exactly the same but no name on it.
Works great.

I have a 800w no name generator as well, but I have not used it in some time. I found with my setup I have been able to just use the extra solar panel I have, if I need the extra power, plus the panel is lighter to carry in the camper.
