20080306 1000hrs - Melbourne
DSCVRY is packed and I’ve left the ExpeditionOz Melbourne HQ and I’m heading through Melbourne to join the Hume Highway which heads north to Sydney town. The odometer is sitting at 122,264km.
20080306 1100hrs - Melbourne
One hour after leaving the ExpeditionOz Melbourne HQ i reach the outer edge of Melbourne…this short part of the trip takes longer everytime i do it :(
20080306 1400hrs - Albury / Wodonga
Just crossed over the Murray River near the towns of Albury (NSW) and Wodonga (Vic) which marks the State border between Victoria and New South Wales.
20080306 1900hrs - Sydney
After a nine hour drive, i have finally reached the outer edge of Sydney. There was lots of roadwork on the Hume Highway as they are finally trying to finish the work which will make the Highway a freeway-grade dual carriage-way (two lanes or more both ways) all the way from Albury to Sydney. The Melbourne to Wodonga part of this work was finished a while ago and the plan is that the NSW side will all be finished by the end of 2009…its a huge project, but i can’t believe it has taken this long…
