Day 6 Horsham - St Arnaud

We ended yesterday with an amazing meal of pasta, salad and bruschetta. We ordered takeaway Margharita pizza to have for breakfast the next morning.

Due to heavy fog, we set off later than hoped this morning, but still managed to smash out 118km before 1:30pm. The weather behaved itself, sun was shining, birds were chirping, the road was flat and tail wind accompanied us most of the way. In sections we reached speeds of over 40km/hr without even trying.


Murtoa, Rupanyap and Marnoo didn't have much to offer in terms of food stuffs or scenery but we managed to find a yummy sausage roll to keep us going. On the contrary, St Arnaud is a gorgeous little town rich in autumn colourings, several pubs and good coffee.

We are feeling the effects of fatigue tonight, but tomorrow is the shortest of all our days and the last before we reach our final destination.

Can't wait to catch up with family and cheer Marcus on as he competes over the weekend.
