A crispy fresh morning greeted the team today when they awoke in Wangaratta. With the temperature needle hovering below zero it was going to be a cold start! We gathered together on the Hume Freeway at the BP and set off, farewelling partners, kids and the TTT dog Pip alike (check out Pip's photo here). Getting away at around 8.30 we went down the highway and across to Shepparton, then up to Echuca. Heading west we stopped at struggle town itself, sunny Cohuna, for a coffee and bite to eat before lunch at Swan Hill. The day was getting away so we pushed on to Mildura for a rendezvous at the Mildura Fire Station with Rob McNally who had the TTT clothing for us from Rohman.
Our plan was to get to Renmark and as the sun was getting low we pressed on and arrived in Renmark around 7.00pm SA time. Making allowances for the SA language difference we were able to sort out a couple of cabins at the very nice Big 4 Renmark Riverfront Holiday Park, who kindly gave us a discount on behalf of the Flying Doctors. Total kilometres covered for today was around 680, with guys on the bikes a bit tired when they gpot off, but gee'd up by being on the Trak. Tomorrow we will head out early again for a date at the Flying Doctor's Port Augusta base before a big shop-up before heading out into the scrub.
