Alrighty, I made it to Mildura a couple of hours ago. I didn't really come to do anything, mainly just for the trip. I did, however, walk over to NSW and took a photo of the welcome to NSW sign (I'll share my pics when I get home - Jerboa doesn't like images over like 5mb)
I was wearing my jacket though, so I did sweat a lot, and I'm getting on another bus back to melbs soon and I'm a little nervous. I did bring deodorant, but not a spare shirt... Ah well, I'll be right I think, I've got a bit over an hour to dry out. Also I've issued 23 "morning!"s this morning, and I've received 15 back with 8 just ignoring me. Not too bad, better than I'd get in Melbourne I think?
I really don't know why I love Mildura so much. This is my seventh time coming here, and coming from Melbourne that seems like a fair bit. Also, to travel almost 1,000km I only paid $8.60 + food and drink, so that's not too bad I say! I love this fair cap
My nan lives there! If you're keen on chatting to hard of hearing 97 year old Aussie ladies who won't understand who you are or why you're there, go say hi!
I really love that you take yourself on adventures like that 🤗 and when you put it that way it is incredibly cheap!
Yes, they're a lot of fun!
Here you are on an interstate adventure and I'm yet to haul ass out of bed! How long does the trip take? Is the weather nice?
You can get to Mildura in about 6 or so hours by car, and I think it's similar if you take the fast way (train to Swan Hill then coach) but I like catching the night coach from Melbourne which goes all the way there, it's a night one and takes about 9 hours getting there at about quarter past 6. It's a great trip, and I do recommend!
I'm definitely interested.. the price is definitely an incentive!
Yep!
