A short meander to Orange and back: Day 11 – Heading for home

It was time to head for home so we packed up the motorhome from our powered site at the Colour City Caravan park in Orange, said farewell to David and Anni and left in convoy with me driving the hire car. I had to stop to fill it up with petrol then Rich followed me back to the Sixt Hire depot and I returned the little car. It had been a great idea to hire the car for the day. It had cost $103 plus $30 for fuel to have the Subaru Crosstrek for the 24 hours. Well worth it!

We set off around 9 and took the fastest way home via Cudal, Eugowra, and on to the Newell Highway at Forbes. Then down the Newell to West Wyalong. We turned off the Newell and on to The Burley Griffin Way at Ardlethan. Followed the Burley Griffith Way to Yenda and then on to Griffith.

Along the way we stopped for a cuppa at a roadside rest area just after Forbes and later stopped for a lunch break at the little town of Beckom.

Some 5 1/2 hours later we arrived into Yenda at 2.30pm and we were home by 3pm. It was an uneventful trip after a fabulous relaxing 10 days away. Just what we needed!

Now to clean the motorhome and get her ready for whatever meander comes up next. I wonder where that will be?
