Still raining at Halls Gap when we woke and decided no point getting out of bed until the rain stopped. By 10am we were all packed up and on the road to Swan Hill. Went through the thriving metropolis of St Arnaud where is was festival weekend and looked like a ghost town. Must have been a big night for all the quilt makers. Travelled through some good farming areas where this years wheat crop is looking very prosperous, as long as they get a good dry finish and the rain stays away. Stopped for lunch at Wycheproof, strange little town but they had bird Aviaries in the local park.Cindy had fun talking to the cockies.
Arrived at Swan Hill mid afternoon just in time to do a paddle steamer cruise on the Murray. Currently the Murray is in flood and the water level is up 10 feet. Still yet to break the bank though.
After the cruise we headed out to Murray Downs Golf and Country Club where Cindy played on the internet and Tom played golf. Very nice course with no one on it, managed to play 18 holes in under 2 hrs and shoot a respectable 84 off the stick. Could have been better if I made a putt or two..
We have set up camp on the banks of the Murray at Riverside Caravan Park where the mossies are as big as horses and there are thousands of them, the mossie net will surely be tested tonight.
