Day 3 - driving to cradle mountain

Left the cottage at about 11am. Alastair drive first part of drive out to Kempton. 

We were well stocked up on snacks. Mostly timtams but some fruit too. Had left over pizza for lunch in Kempton.

Bini drove from Kempton to  Miena, Bini freaked a bit of some curvey but on the most part was all good. Swapped again at Miena and Alastair drive last part into moina.

Had some excitement on the way where the car in front of us lost its back left wheel totally and the wheel flew 100m into the air. Something we never thought we'd see in real life. Pulled over and tried to help. Ended up going further down the road into reception to call the RAA equivalent and then a tow truck for them. Bit of an addrenelene rush but all good in the end. 

Stopped in Sheffield for shopping, bought 2 bottle of white wine (made a total of 3 in the car now) and ingredients for beef rendang for dinner. Also got petrol ($1.56 per L). 

Drove final part to accommodation. Lots of pin curves and curvey roads. 

Are the curry for dinner and drink the full bottle of Stoneleigh wine. Sleep wasn't great but could have been worse as we found out. Bini didn't sleep well though.
