Hurried home after work so that we could leap in Jo’s car and try to get out of town ahead of the rush. Luck must have been on my side because we managed to leave by 5.15 pm, and were out on the Hume by about 6 pm. From there it was just the usual long and boring drive for six and a half hours — up the freeway through Victoria to Albury, country highway to Holbrook, then Tarcutta, skirt around Gundagai, on to Yass, then the Barton Highway to Murrumbateman and a twisty country back-road at midnight from there to Bungendore.
