Well I'm now in Echuca staying at Michelle's house. If anyone is looking at the map on my homepage then just ignore the flashing red dot. It has issues and won't stay in the right place. Thursday - I got up and said goodbye to Louise and Andy who were carrying on their journey towards Adelaide. I would have loved to carry on with them but didn't really want to end up back in Adelaide. I was planning to catch a train from Port Fairy back to Me...
