20080101 2355hrs – ExpeditionOZ Upper Yarra Valley HQ

After a five hour drive I finally made it back to HQ. It was pretty uneventfull drive, though just as i was leaving The General at Mt Hotham a CFA ute and firetruck went screaming though the village heading west. I spoke to someone outside the CFA fire station and they told me that the truck was heading down to a possible fire on the Dargo High Plains.

It was pretty busy in the Ovens Valley and every caravan park or motel i drove past was full, so I made the dash for the Upper Yarra Valley and after seeing one kangaroo on the road between Seymour and Yea, here i am safe and sound at ExpeditionOz HQ.

The speedometer on DSCVRY is reading 119,254 km, so i managed to clock up 1,092 km of driving on this expedition…all in all it was a good expedition and on top of these logs, which i will enter into the blog on my return to connectivity, i’ll try and get around to doing some equipment reviews as quickly as possible…though…i do need to start planning the next expedition ;)
