Day - 62. Albury

Our hopes that the traps might work were dashed when we checked the car this morning.  Perhaps this is a particularly smart rodent!!

We then called our insurance company for assistance, and they gave us the name of a vehicle repair place which then removed the contents and the seats.  A strong blast of air was blown through the inside of the car, but no luck in locating the animal.  So we travelled to Albury with the unwelcome passenger still aboard.  The only good news about this debacle is that our insurance company will cover the cost of dismantling the interior of the car, locating the animal, repairing any damage, and putting it all back together again.

At 8.00 am we welcomed a man to successfully repair the chip in the windscreen.  One good result for the day!!

The freeways to Albury were very good and the traffic flowed well.  The scenery was particularly attractive, with rolling emerald farmland and healthy looking sheep and cattle.  

There was no contact from our "passenger" during the journey.



This is a new type of trap purchased at Bunnings this morning.  There are two of these in the car overnight baited with peanut butter.  The idea is that the vermin enter the trap to eat the bait but cannot escape.



The second trap.  Fingers crossed!!!
