Tuesday 29 March - The four of us went off for a drive in the morning and the boys went to the Port of Echuca which is a museum mostly about old paddle steamers, the river and old rail carriages.
Julie and I went and found a couple of fabric shops to spend time in and that night we went into Moama RSL for dinner. Out came our Seniors Cards and we had a lovely two course meal for $12.50 each, not bad, sometimes it pays to be senior.
Monday 28 March - We went for a cruise on the "Kingfisher" boat cruising the Murray River at Barmah where we went into the Barmah lake. There was heaps of birdlife and very high waters due to the floods. It was a very relaxing 2 hours. Then we went back to camp for lunch and headed out after lunch walking around the town checking out all the stores. Then back for beer 'o'clock.
Sunday 27 March - Off again this time we are heading to Echuca a fairly long trip. We had a detour in Karang which copped a lot of flooding not that long ago, it is where Prince William visited to check out the damage. It was really bad, I got out and took some photos of the Murray Valley Highway once we got back to the end of the damage, the road was still under water and completely ruined, the tar was all in a huge bulge, the paddocks still held loads of water, it was unbelievable. Finely we arrived to meet up with Brian and Julie for 3 days. We stayed at a caravan park right on the Murray River with old paddle steamers going up and down the river all day blowing there deep whistles as they passed by, there looked so lovely.
We didn't get up to too much that day, just bought food for dinner and headed back to camp where John and Brian had a swim and Julie and I just caught up with each other.
