The drive home was, as usual, slowly done at 80 kilometres an hour, though the good thing about the Hume Highway is that it is duel lane all the way from the Barton Highway to Melbourne. That means that it doesn't matter if the car is slow as there is ample opportunity for other drivers to pass will minimal disruption to their pace. Mind you do always get those that come speeding up to the back of your car and then seem to wonder why they have to slow down, they don't seem to look more than 10 feet in front of themselves sometimes. It's a shame that the Barton Highway from Canberra out to the Hume Highway has not been duplicated as it is still mostly one lane in each direction, it really is just a glorified "cattle track", not the sort of "Highway" you would expect leading you to the capital city of a country.
Anyway the drive was long and the day was wet. I didn't stop often other thanks to refill the tank and the rain just kept on coming down. Was great to see some streams that I have never seen water in before, though other thanks that nothing exciting to say really...
Oh I did receive this picture over Instagram from a fellow Valley Green Morris Minor owner, seems a friend of his had taken it while driving on the Hume and passing me. Small world isn't it. Note it isn't my photo, I would credit the photographer, so thanks Retroasted.
