We arrived back in Adelaide via the Great Ocean Road in southern Victoria late last night.
We had started out from Torquay, where we had stayed over night, travelled all day and got progressively sickier from junk motorway food. Upon arrival in the high-tech townhouse the hot water system was no longer working. We stepped around all the boxes waiting to be unpacked from the move, fed the dogs and fell into bed to the sounds of the city. It was work for me tomorrow though not Suzanne.
I had been planning to write about the trip to Mallacoota on this weblog, but I had trouble finding internet access and, then when I did find it I had trouble accessing this weblog whilst in Mallacoota. I had even taken extensive notes during the first couple of days across the Wimmera country and then along the Great Alpine Road.
In the end I gave it up trying to stay connected to the virtual world. I was on holiday in the magnificent Croajingolong National Park. Nothing else mattered. I was surrounded by, and living within wilderness. It was a place that embodied, and preserved, the value of wilderness
But its back on deck from this morning.
