Girgarre to Mathoura - 103 km

The gas ran out when the water was heating this morning.  I knew it was running low, so instead of using the small spare bottle I carry with me I packed up and headed for Kilmore.  I bought a refill at a camping store then headed North along the Cobb Highway and crossed the border into NSW.

I have stopped for the night at Mathoura which is about 40km North of the Victorian border.  I am camped in behind the Mathoura Bowling Club.  They have facilities for travellers including a dump point.  When I went to the main desk to tell them I was here, the manager offered free use of their toilets and hot showers.

Mathoura is only a small town - the main street consists of about half a dozen shops including a small IGA supermarket, so I will pick up some groceries tomorrow.

The heat seems to be never ending.  The last few hours have been spent sitting under a large willow tree either dozing or reading.  When the sun goes down I think I will see what's on the menu at the bowling club for dinner - hopefully they will have salt-n-pepper calamari on the menu.

I haven't thought about where I will head tomorrow.  The constant heat is really starting to get to me, so  I may spend a couple of nights at a caravan park so I can plug into power and use my air conditioner.
