Melbourne to Sydney

Got prepared for nine hours of travelling. Luckily we drive on the same side of the road. The countryside we went through was dry and parched. There were pockets of green here and there. Lakes Entrance had a beautiful view of the sea and the stopover at MacDonalds for a meal was much appreciated. From there it was straight to Batemans Bay. Once we entered New South Wales the green lush meadows came into sight. Some farms had a wreath with the cross and words like so and so died here. That was something I hadnt seen anywhere else. Batemans Bay was a lovely little place and our rooms overlooked a pond and the grounds had peacocks strutting. The highlight of the stay was the shock and horror on our faces when my husband threw the room key from the ground to the first floor and the key landed on the roof. Fortunately for us it landed in the gutter on the roof and was soon retrived by our tall friend who had to sit on the railings on the balcony held on to by his fearful wife. The other experience was being breathalysed on the way back from dinner. When asked have you taken any drinks my husband replies only Chinese Tea!
