Cooking and eating hot porridge in the cold, still morning was a joy and I finished breakfast with a strong coffee while I contemplated packing up my tent for the last time.
The ride through the Grampians was great. It's such a spectacular place and I saw more (living) wildlife on the roadside than I 'd seen previously on the entire trip.
Exiting the Grampians at Dunkeld I pretty much felt like I was now on very last bit of my holiday. The riding was cold but I took regular little stops to warm up and before I was probably ready for it, the Melbourne skyline was on the horizon.
Lots of stop and start traffic on the Westgate then there I was pulling into the garage. Trip over.
What a fantastic trip it was. Amelia and I covered about eight or nine thousand kilometeres and had met a whole bunch of interesting people and saw a whole bunch fantastic, spectacular and never forget type stuff.
While I don't think I'd do the trip again I'm very glad I've done it.
Next big bike trip planned is to Mount Gambia via Great Ocean Road in November.
