Tocumwal, Day 10 – Euroa to Home

Itching for Hitching

Day 10, Thursday 2nd December 2021, Euroa to Home, hot 32 We didn’t get much rain last night, by 10:00pm we were opening the hatches again to cool things down. This morning though is delightful, everything is green and sparkly and the little creek is a mirror. We take the Euroa Merton Road through the Strathbogie Ranges and down into Yea where we catch up with Toothless and his Missus again. Woody buys a couple of new shirts (as you do) and we head for home through picture-perfect green rolling hills and dairy farms. This year is wetter than most. … Continue reading Tocumwal, Day 10 – Euroa to Home

All we had to hope for was that lockdown would end so that our Christmas Muster in late November could go ahead. As regional Victoria and then Melbourne opened up, it was all systems go.

Itching for Hitching

Saturday November 3rd 2012, Corowa We start the day with espresso coffees all round at our van (of course we brought the coffee machine), then walk into town.

Red Dirt, Day 14 – A long weekend

Itching for Hitching

Friday November 2nd 2012, Yarrawonga to Corowa It was a very cold night, but we awake to a beautiful sunny morning. Gee it’s washing day again, at least this park is quiet so the task is knocked over whilst we have breakfast. We top up the fuel and drive on to Corowa along the northern, NSW shore of the lake. This is our shortest drive, a mere 40kms, so we check into Ball Park Caravan Park at 10:00am. Ball Park is a very large council run park and although delightfully treed most of the ‘tenants’ have onsite vans, in fact … Continue reading Red Dirt, Day 14 – A long weekend
