15th October 2014
Last night was the coldest we had experienced on the entire trip! In the morning we discovered there had been a widespread snowstorm and the western highway was closed between Lithgow and Mt Victoria due to the icy conditions. There was snow from just east of Bathurst through to Blackheath. This was an unexpected end to the holiday and an unprecedented occurrence for October!

We left Blayney around 9:30 in the hope the road would be open by the time we got there, which it was. In Lithgow we parked the van and got out to enjoy the unseasonal weather.
Arrived home safe and sound late afternoon, all well with the house. The caravan will go into mothballs until next year, but in the meantime we will be making some improvements to the battery and water tank capacity to allow us to do more camping off the beaten track next time.
