Today was a lazy start, we had plenty of time to do what ever we please. So after packing up grabbing some breakfast at the local bakery then headed for some twisties.

Josh then navigated us around Melbourne to the Oasis Bakery. Grabbed a bite to eat so we don’t have to consume the boat food, it was rather good and I would like to go back.

To kill some time we perused the store that is part of the Oasis Bakery, coming out with a handful of stuff that ended in some expletives when trying to pack it all on the bike.

So we are now on the boat!
Bike is tucked in for the night, and the journey to Tas begins!!

We are deep into uncharted territory now, haven’t ventured this far south on our bikes until now!

It was raining last night so we had to pack up wet tents, though the rain has held off during the day which is a bonus.
The wind has been especially bad, causing extra fatigue trying to keep the bike on the right side of the road. Shortly after setting out we stopped and switched out to the wet weather/winter gear just for the extra warmth with the driving wind.

Had a slight hiccup at the Vic boarder crossing. I was unaware that I passport was needed. Anyway managed to buff my way through that little bit of excitement.

So yes we are in Victoria now, staying in a little campervan place in a small town called Nagambie. Our first choice of places was fully booked out, then it dawned on us that it’s the ANZAC long weekend. It’s all good though we have somewhere to sleep and with any luck our tents will be dry by morning.

Had to do a bit of running repairs to my bike, left front indicator has fallen off. I knew the lower bracket had broken, but the only other screw holding it has now failed as well.
As such I have zip tied it togeather until I can get some time in Hobart to give it another lookin.

We will be on the boat tomorrow night, so I’m unsure if I will beable to type my daily report due to being at sea and WIFI doesn’t cover the area :p

I have updated the maps so they now link to the raw data for each day.
I will do something more when I get to a computer but it will help give more detail if you are interested in that stuff!!

Mostly pushing on to Melbourne, we had a slight hiccup in our plans.
We totally didn’t forsee the need to book the ferry way in advance. So we are stuck on the 9th May sailing back.
This slightly extends our original time so we have applied to do a week of work in Tas to make up for the time loss.

We stopped at Parks Telecope for a bite to eat on the trip today, it’s a nice little cafe and do a good feed.

We ended the day at: West Wyalong
Nothing overly special here, though the show grounds do allow people to camp, so that’s what we are doing tonight!

And the journey map for today..
