Left home at 0500 this morning fearing the worst.
We have done this trip every fortnight for about 18 months.
Today was the best run we have had, ever.
SFA Traffic.

We left Mentone to go to Wangaratta at about 10am. Usually go the back way through Yea but thought we would go up the Hume for a change. Quiet until we got off the Ring Road and it was 25kmh all the way up past Kalkallo. Bah. Then once into the 110kmh zone it picked up. I can only think it was getting screwed up at each of the onramps.

Drove back to Melb today (Sun) to get in before the returning Easter / School Hols traffic on Monday.

Traffic was still busy, but nothing like I  imagine tomorrow is going to be!!! 

Good luck all. Be safe.

A Friend and I left Yarra Glen at 1000 on Thursday.
Arrived in Nhill at 1610.  That's a Toyota FZJ105 and Tvan.
Averaged 19Ltr/100klm. for that part of the trip.
Went for a drive around for the next couple of days and averaged 36L/100K. towing the Trailer.  Visited Milmed Rock, Big Billy Bore, saw a bunch of people enjoying themselves with M/bikes and Quads near Scorpion Springs and then down Border track to Centre Road and out to the Bitumen.
then down to Bordertown and across to McDonald's Highway and across through the Little Desert.
Then stopping off in Nhill for Tea, Showers, Comfy sleep and return to Melb. Monday Arvo. 
No real hassles with traffic at all.
Except, some  Bright spark on my side of Double White Lines, Driving a Late model mid Blue coloured FORD sedan with Sunroof.  (Hope he's not a MYSWAGGER).  Location was in Christmas Hills.  And he seemed to think I should get out of his way. 
Not with a trailer swinging off the back STUPID ***!!@*.
