BORDER CROSSINGS & THE MIGHTY MURRAY

We left Lyrup and headed East towards Mildura. Beautiful countryside. Oranges were fantastic.
 
Welcome to VIC.
 
Mildura was a big town so we decided to cross the Murray river into NSW and stopped right next to the river at Buronga

 View at Buronga



 
 
 After resting up for a couple of days we decided to head further along the river crossing back into VIC. We were told about a campsite behind the Harness Club at Nyah. We liked it so much that we stayed for 4 days. Wildlife woke us every morning and on one morning walk a kangaroo jumped right across our path.........once again we failed to have our camera. We are loving bush camping.

 
Riverbank at Nyah, 50 metres from the Chookpen

 Birds on racing track early morning, feeding after rain.

 Its getting bloody cold too.

 
Left Nyah and it was time for some nostalgia. The map said Wedderburn and Kel just  had to head there. No birds found this time,(you had to be there). A lovely town ,however, and its grown from memory. Hope you are reading this, Reg. Didn't strike gold this time either.
 
As mentioned above, you had to be there.

 
 Spent the night at Wedderburn Caravan Park and headed towards Echuca. Echuca was a fantastic place but it poured all day with rain. We decided to camp the night and head back in the morning. The clouds broke to a lovely sunny day but it was cold. We still loved it and will have to go back another time. Only managed 1 photo, the camera's battery went flat. Missed some wonderful photo opportunities as we set off for Denilquin NSW and further onwards to Hay NSW. It's only as we are writing that we realised that our phones take photos. It's wonderful being tech savvy.(NOT)

Going to spend a few days in Hay to catch up on washing and cooking.
