Autumn 2017 Lakelands Caravan Park is only a few blocks down the hill from Tallangatta town centre. What a surprise Lakelands turns out to be with sites overlooking Lake Hume, beautiful views of rolling hills, fishing boats darting back and forth and cows mooing on the far shore. We could happily sit here for a week. Continue reading Lakelands Caravan Park
Autumn 2017 In the Murray Valley we head out of town to a camp at Tallangatta Creek which happens to be closed, on our return to town we are tooted by a passing car and realise that our caravan lights aren’t working and the plug is hanging on the road shredded. The local servo tells us that a plug should be in tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes. The auto electrician in Corryong is a wizard and does a great job of replacing the plug and giving us tourism tips. He suggests that we use Corryong as a base and drive up … Continue reading Shredding our electricals

Feb 2018 Wooroonook Lakes (a bit over 200kms north of Melbourne by air) Cortisone keeps me awake until around midnight, the road is busy with trucks, a lonely mopoke calls and Woody’s snoring is in chorus with a thousand frogs. A low roar becomes louder, it’s a plane overhead where probably 300 people are wondering when the seatbelt sign will be switched off so that they can all stand up and reshuffle the overhead locker before settling in with a movie or two then breakfast in Singapore. Continue reading It’s a plane
Summer 2018 The Wooroonook Lakes are about 14kms west of Charlton and an oasis in the wheat belt. A long sloping stretch of sand allows for fairly level camping using ramps and there are two vans already in residence when … Continue reading Wooroonook Lakes
Late Summer 2018 On the banks of the Campaspe river at Ayson’s Reserve near Elmore in Victoria, the wheatfields across the river are golden stubble. Coots coot and a kayaker slaps gently past. Tree hoppers bounce about on the gum trees and willows dip gently in the river. Somewhere an old fart has his radio just a little too loud, lucky we have the same taste in music.
