Day 121, Renmark to Canberra

When we set out … 121 days and 23,102km ago.

So, we are home. We were granted an exemption to travel yesterday morning, headed to Remark ( South Australia) yesterday to be positioned to ‘Cannonball’ home across NSW today. Which we did. 10.5 hours driving, 915 km, two ‘comfort stops’ by the side of the road and one COVID safe fuel stop halfway for 5 minutes. An epic end to an epic trip. We spent the last four weeks in South Australia, working remotely, waiting for the COVID rules to line up for the run home.

The time in SA wasn’t wasted. Apart from work during the week, we maxed out the opportunities offered by the weekends. We took in the Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley, Southern Flinders Ranges and Kangaroo Island. We also got to spend a lot of time with our dear friends D&V, who were also very understanding and great hosts.

    I thanked St Christopher for your safe travel. Reflecting on your extended travel, it has certainly been a eye opener and I congratulate you both for your commitment. Sue and I appreciated the opportunity to catch up with you and, hopefully, look forward to more gatherings post Covid. Just arrived in Tanunda for a few days break. Weather currently fine but ongoing rain forecast for next few days. (So much for Spring) Love and hugs xxxxxxx
