All was going well on the roads until near Yarragon, then suddenly we're down to 20 kilometres per hour to get through the town - no idea why they make these highways go through the middle of the town with all of the traffic lights. Things got even worse at the next town Trafalgar, coming to a dead stop about four kilometres out of town.
After getting through both towns it was all good, got to Moe before midday. Before lunch went for a run on the Moe park run course - actually called Newborough. The course wasn't so great as it was just 1.5 kilometre out, then 1 kilometre back the way you came, then do the opposite. So you basically run the same kilometre four times in a row, and there wasn't much to look at.
Had some packed lunch in the car, but there was actually a few places open in the town so got some drinks before leaving. Next stop was Morwell not far away. There wasn't much around, just stopped at the Gippsland Immigration Park for a quick break.

After about an hour of driving stopped again at Traralgon. Had another trip around their park run course which was just 2.5 kilometres out and back on a footpath, not very good. My ankle/foot/heel problem just managed to deal with both sessions.
Finally made it to Sale later in the afternoon, biggest town so far. Did a bit of driving around, came to the historic swing bridge - whatever that means. They had an interesting looking wetlands track but it was a 15 kilometre round trip so couldn't have a go at that.

Went to the hotel to check-in, nobody at the front desk. Rang the bell and still no answer, so had to call their phone to get someone to show up! No Foxtel either unfortunately, so just had to watch the end of the Good Friday AFL and an A-League game, and went out to get some dinner.
Next morning got up early to drive over to the local park run. Foot was feeling just alright, so I decided to run with the two leaders, got past them after about 3 kilometres and got a first place. The course was easily the best of the three - two lakes and a garden.

Back to the hotel to check out and start heading home again already. Went to Sale farmers market on the way, didn't have anything good, so drove for a couple of hours to Warragul instead which also had a farmers market - chocolate scones! Had a break for lunch before finishing the drive home - beat the Easter Monday traffic by two days.
