End of the Voyage Extraordinaire

"To conclude, I may say that our journey into the interior of the earth created an enormous sensation throughout the civilized world. It was translated and printed in many languages. All the leading journals published extracts from it, which were commentated, discussed, attacked, and supported with equal animation by those who believed in its episodes, and by those who were utterly incredulous."

Ok, so that last quote may have been over the top, but we did have a great holiday. The last few days was mostly driving. We managed to see the confluence of the Murray and Darling at Wentworth and stay right on the Murray at Euston before a night inWest Wylong and somehow fitting Alison's mother and her dog and luggage into our poor old overburdened car ( Big Red Ralphie ).
