ACT Retirement Adventure - Day 11 - The last day.



We left Tooleybuc at 9.30 via the usual route - Piangil and the Mallee Highway. 

This was a great day for sharing our thoughts and we had a wonderful conversation about the things we love while driving along this stretch of road.

Lunch was at Pinnaroo.

Lameroo had Christmas table decorations on display on the picnic tables around town !!  Also bows on the trees and stobie poles.

We stopped off at Tailem Bend for a cuppa, stopping down by the river , so that we could watch the ferry lazily cruising back and forth while we relaxed. 



Apparently there are now lots of painted sheep in town (inspired by Mem Fox's "Where is the green sheep?" that we will need to keep an eye out for next time we come through town.

We made it home at 3.15pm. 
Total distance for the trip: 2958km. 

We have time to shop for food so that we have something to take to the Diment Family Christmas show tomorrow. 

While we were away we both downloaded the "Wunderlist" app which we are able to share. 
On this we have compiled a long list of things that need to be done to prepare for Christmas, Thom and Laura's visit and to get life in general into a better order. 

We will slowly start working our way through them as we head into this new phase of life.

Finishing the blog for the trip allows me to tick off one more item from that long list.
