Wednesday 29th January - Traralgon to Port Welshpool
Another cool night of 12.5 and upto 25.9 during the day. We arrived at the Long Jetty Caravan Park just after noon, We're at Port Welshpool and the fees haven't dropped much so they must still be charging high season rates. We're close to the waterfront, so hopefully tomorrow's heatwave will not be as bad here. The road here was pretty bumpy, but not to windy and we only saw a few semi-trailers. Most of these were logs trucks. It's really quiet in the park here so far, but it was apparently full last week-end with the Australia Day public holiday. They have nearly 150 sites here, so it's quite a big park and the sites are quite large too. 11pm - we heard a bang and the power has gone off. No microwave, fridge, PVR but the TV is still working. It's must be running on 12v as it's browning out every now and then. Time to switch it properly to 12v and put the fridge onto gas. Clive gets his miners headlight out and gets it all working. There are still fires around here so maybe they had something to do with it. Clive's flip flops finally need to be thrown away. The hole in the right foot is now too big and when he walks on stones they hurt his feet. Still not bad mileage, seeing as these were bought in May just before we started our travels.
