... around 40 mins to Swan Hill direct from present location, add another 40? mins to pass through Speewa on the way.

I've only just seen this thanks to the turning of the page.  You picked it.  I planned to go to Speewa first but the bike was making a noise so I wanted to get it looked out (chain needed a spray, nothing serious) and since I was in town I went and bough a usb-hdd, went back out to Speewa (both Speewas) and did the punt.

STs dont need spray or chain adjustments, dont make strange noises either.

Just saying.

Making good time, mate. Enjoy the break. A bit over an hours travel to Fairfield from there,
... a little longer via the scenic route off the freeway.

That frequent half hour 'revitalise' break is something that all cage drivers should do.
That way, there are less sleepy drivers in their air conditioned shells for us riders to avoid.  :grin

Essendon Airport currently 26 degrees.
Been a good day of travel with time out for 'lookansee', maintenance and rest breaks, around 350Km? for today.
Not far to go now.
