Checked out of motel and started the long ride through the
Ngarkat Conservation Park. Finally made it to Boarder Town and fueled up and then after reminiscing about "girlfriend-like-creature" and my last stay at the Dukes Motor headed off for Horsham. Again riding through the green and yellow of wheat and canola fields.
Stopped for supplies in Horsham and started towards the Grampians The road sign to Melbourne saying 300km or so away sort of tempted me to head straight home but I kept on and finally the mountains came into clear enough view that they distracted me from my desire for my own bed.
Pretty soon I was in the mountains and the roads and views made it all worth while.
Eventually found a fantastic campsite which was pretty far of the main road and completely isolated. Perfect. I set up camp and, as it was feeling a little cold, actually made a fire in the camp fireplace. Cooked a yummy barbecue chops dinner under the stars and then watched the fire burn down to ashes over a couple of glasses of red.
