What beautiful weather we are having, No humidity, rather cool nights, sunny days of around 20 degrees and no wind. However I have had to relent on my 10 degree rule. This morning it was only 7 when I got out of bed at 8am. BBBBrrrrr, weather forecast is for snow in next few days around this area. Lets see how long before Chris does an about turn and heads north. haha. We didn’t get away from Henty till after lunch, so just did a few kms till we pulled into an off road bush camp, lit a fire and had a BBQ for tea.
Next morning we had a stop for some photos over the Hume Weir, it is quite full after all the rain. Six years ago we were here. and it was almost dry. A beautiful spot but you can’t camp right on the lake now, as its all fenced off, much to Chris’s disgust.
Albury was next, we had lunch up on the Hill where the Cenotaph is. The wreaths were still there from Anzac Day. It is the nicest, cleanest one I have been to. The view over Albury is also spectacular. Forming a boundary to the area are blocks with plaques on them, denoting all the wars. I couldn’t help being moved by the one at the end which was blank. Hopefully we will never see a plaque on it !!
We did some shopping and drove around the now busy city. Albury has an extra big railway station, as you can see in the drive by photo.
We took the time to wander through the Botanical gardens, not the best we’ve seen, but still enjoyed the walk around
From Albury we traveled on to Yarrawonga where we camped on the banks of the Murray River, overlooking the golf course. I had a nice time taking some fun photos of the ducks
I also enjoy taking reflective photos of rivers at the end of day.
Behind the van we had our own set of steps cut into the bank, going down onto the sand. It was a good spot.
The next morning we got up at sunrise, went for a walk and fed the birds, before leaving,
We had made arrangements to have lunch at the Sports Club at Barooga, with a long time friend of the Terlichs. A chap that used to schear for them on the farm . After a long lunch we drove to Glenrowan to have some time with one of my Cousins. Parked the van in their backyard, and settled in for a good catch up……
