Date: 2-4th February 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travelled: 350 kms from Albury to Port of Melbourne. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visited: Longwood and Seymour<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stayed: Longwood and Beacon Cove, Free. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget: 6 days @ $0 per day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We service the Jayco before departing the showgrounds at Albury. Checking the fuel watch app we find diesel at $1.60 again and fill up at the independent servo in North Albury. Then we head for Albury\u2019s Aquatic Centre for some laps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pool and facilities are excellent and the $5 concession reasonable. Should have taken a picture, but by the time we had finished kids were coming in and a camera is not deemed appropriate these days if kids are around. I was tempted by the water slide but had second thoughts, which indicates I\u2019m getting old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back on the Hume once again we cross into Victoria. The day is clear and sunny but much milder at 22\u00b0, however the wind is quite strong and the Jayco becomes a bit of a wrestling match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We breakfast at a hwy rest stop. We decide to call it an early lunch as it\u2019s nearly mid-day. It\u2019s only a few kms from Benalla hence the mural on the dunny walls pictured above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have set the GPS for a free stop in Longwood<\/a>. Only a few kms off the hwy and 130 out of Melbourne it seems the ideal overnight stop. The pub has some excellent reviews so Longwood it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RV stop sits in the park\/recreation area. There are tennis courts, and an 18 hole golf course (rough) and playing fields. We share the stop with a couple of caravans and 4 motorhomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a short nap we head off for a walk around what is left of Longwood, then on to the Whitehart Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
