The Victorian High Country – Day Five

I woke with surprisingly no hang over, yet still alot of pain. Was time to unfortunately end this trip, head home and get to the dentist.

We packed up our stuff, left the dollars for the hotel owner we never saw and headed towards Cooma to find some brekky.

Just for something different we had Macca’s for brekky at Cooma and decided it was time to head our separate ways.

At this point I would like to thank Kim for coming on the trip…. yes it was cut short, however we did get to do some memorable 4WD’ing. Next time we’ll be able to get to these areas we missed out on this time. Thanx again :-)

As I was in a fair amount of pain, I decided to take my time to get home and take a different route, just to mix it up a little.

I headed towards Canberra, but diverted off the Monaro Highway at Michelago and headed up Burra Road to see what I could see.

Was a nice diversion, great scenery, cows on road etc etc.

Eventually got to the Old Cooma Road and headed towards Queanbeyan. Got on the Kings Highway at Queanbeyan and headed towards Tarago and then onto Braidwood Road and headed strait for Goulburn.

I wanted to see where they moved the Big Merino too… I found it, got a couple of pies and a can on ‘V’ for lunch and had a break.

Continued towards Sydney on the Hume Highway, but only got as far as Marulan… and I needed to stop for a sleep. 4 hours later it was time to make the last stretch home… which was uneventful.

This concludes this epic adventure. Only thing left to say is…. the next day I had root canal therapy!!
