03.01 Sydney to Melbourne
We left Sydney at about 7am after loading the car and saying goood bye to everyone - not emotional at all (far too early for that!). Our journey home took us from Sydney to Melbourne via Canberra in one day! Fortunately it was pretty much dual carriageway all the way down, so the cruise control was set and the car just did its thing for the next 800kms!
We thought as we were passing Canberra that we should have a look, just to say that we had been there. People were right that there isn't really anything there. The city was very quiet as if there weren't enough people, and it was a little bit dirty, compared to Melbourne or the other major centres. But the breakfast was cheap!
As you can see from the photos, we made it to Parliment House and took a few photos before we got back in the car and headed home.
Heading down the Hume Highway we decided to have a break at Wangaratta. The weather had been quite warm on the way down so we had had the air conditioning on, but as we got out of the car for a drink we hit this wall of heat. It was 35°C in Wangaratta and not much cooler when we hit Melbourne! In total the journey took us 12.5 hours!
