Murchison 29 November 2005

Had a very restful night and set off to the town of Murchison on the Goulburn River. Went for a walk along the river and ended at a pretty ‘beach’. Went down to Nagambie, but before we got there, we heard an almighty bang. When Peter stopped the truck, we found that the back rail (that supports the bike), had come off! Luckily, we were able to stop outside an abandoned winery, so we had plenty of room to move. After getting the motor bike off the back, Peter was able to get the parts from Nagambie and after a few dramas, he get the chassis bolted together and we were on the road again. As this took most of the afternoon, we ended up at a truck stop along a deserted stretch of road. The only good thing to happen was that Heather was able to pick a beautiful bunch of roses from the abandoned winery.
