Well this is the last blog which I might add is a bit late but better late than never.

An early morning start saw the day in with bacon and eggs for brekkie with Sandra’s old school friend from Casterton who now lives in Koonoomoo, on the border of NSW and VIC.

A beautiful part of the world and we saw some of it via 4WD along the banks of the Murray River in the morning.

The river is looking very sad although our hosts assure me that the summer is much better than the winter here for the Murray so with this bit of local info, it is reassuring to know that it will look better at some stage in the future. Although I remember many years ago as a younger set, that when visiting the mighty Murray anytime during the year was a great site. Bit like the mighty Glenelg River – once was and hopefully will be again one day – we can only live in hope.

With the sightseeing out of the way we headed for Ballarat to visit Sandra’s daughter and then headed for home arriving Monday night.

This has been one of the best trips I have had in a very long time and with a great travelling companion and some wonderful places to see in Oz, the next trip is already being planned for next year.

Looks like “The Ghan” might be a possibility?
