We move closer and closer to home. The highlight of the day is the accommodation in Narrandera, where we stay at a converted church. If the churches of my youth played Tenet, had Maxibons in the freezer and comfy beds, it’s possible that my relationship with religion would be completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning! This man is on the move in NSW and is dangerously relaxed. DW.
They called out the ‘smoothie specialist’ to make this drink. She knows her stuff. Smoothie SME. JRT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This bridge spanning the Murray has a cool early 1900s aesthetic at its core. We never got time to do a ferry crossing though unfortunately. DW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We have ticked off many Big <object>’s on the trip. A country Australia classic. By driving through the Big Tyre, it is more interactive than most. JRT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We’re off to a good start. The first point of interest has been relocated several hundred metres away inside a museum and due to time constraints this plaque will have to satisfy the team. They seem unconcerned and ask what we were supposed to find here. I can’t tell them as I don’t really know. DW.
The attraction was supposed to be a large dead log. Even if the log was here, this was worst point of interest of the trip. JRT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Civilization! DW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A second Dimmeys!!! We had to visit. As expected, they have more great quality clothes at very reasonable prices, but like last time, they weren’t in my size. I leave disappointed, but resolute to visit every Dimmeys I come across. JRT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was a great find at the Mildura Vinnies. Don’t listen to what anyone else says, it was 80 minutes of car fun. My favourite was Track 16, Engleburt Humperdink – Can’t Take my Eyes Off You. DW.
Dek bought a random couple’s wedding album, and then forced us to listen to Irish rock. JRT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2 days from Blackheath. 5 mins from a yummy Mildura Banh Mi. JRT <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We stayed in a converted Airbnb church, which is everything I hope it is. JRT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The church is beautifully converted. It retains many original elements, like the pews, stained glass, and enormous chandelier, and has added a modern kitchen, two bathrooms, big couches, a mezzanine bath… Is this heaven? JRT
James lacked the gumption to use the mezzanine bath. I promised I wouldn’t look. DW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
