I was awake about 3am this morning and we left Mount Gambier at 5am with first light just breaking.
We caught the sun rising over a ridge near Casterton (pictured).
The drive took us to Hamilton, Glenthompson, Ararat, Avoca, Maryborough, Bendigo, Shepparton and Benalla before crossing to Myrtleford along the Great Alpine Road.
We had covered half the distance before the heat kicked in. It was over 40 degrees and very uncomfortable by the time we got to Shepparton.
Juliet wanted to visit the SPC cannery and pick up some fruit snacks for the kids.
A cool change is expected in Victoria on Tuesday afternoon.
