Sale, Victoria

Clocktower in Sale.

Friday 16^th September.

John and I are enjoying our last days of the trip. We have been away almost four months."Syd" has taken us to some great spots.

We have stayed in Sale, Victoria for three nights, driving through some of the country areas surrounding this rural town. Sale is the junction of two highways, South Gippsland and the Princes.
We have missed our television in some towns, sometimes having only one channel. In others we had none. Here we have had a good choice of shows, it helped in our decision to stay for longer. The caravan park is nice and quiet; we are close to the amenities and near town. Sale is on the Thomson River, it has a small port and marina.

Nice to get back to civilization in some ways, others not. Big towns have roundabouts and traffic lights, lots of cars. But bigger shops and supermarkets. Some outback areas we weren’t  able to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, some items like bananas have been too expensive.

Most towns have bakeries, how nice to buy fresh bread and rolls, along with the slices and tarts!

We saw a couple of towns out from Sale today, John had a look through a car museum in Maffra.

Today we came back to the park to find a caravan all set up on our site. The mix up was sorted out and we moved to another spot, easier for us. We have to leave a chair sometimes on our site when we go out, most parks have us on computer so don’t give the site to someone else, mistakes do happen though. The manager came over later to apologise.

Tomorrow we head out on the Princes Highway,towards the New South Wales border.  We will be in Victoria for another day or so.

Thanks to modern technology we have been able to keep in touch with family and friends, in fact most have been along with us, sharing our adventures.
