Floating a Murray paddlewheeler on the dew

It was said that in a drought, a skilled Murray River Captain could float his paddlewheeler on the dew




Fortunately there seems to be a bit more water than that around right now and the river current is quite strong, with more water on the way.


Port of Echuca

Paddle Ghosts - Echuca, Victoria




 A unique Australian riverland tree - The Thong Tree



We're at the historic port of Echuca on The Murray in Victoria - paddlewheeler capital of Australia.
It reminds us of a children's novel Roy wrote years ago: "Paddle Ghosts".
A great site - we hope to be staying for a while.

Blue Mountains have something that will keep bringing us back


It was good to catch up with friends and Roy enjoyed a game of golf with friend Les Coyne at Roy's former golf club, Wentworth Falls.
We also had a very enjoyable dinner with friends at our favourite local restaurant, Pins on Megalong.
The Blue Mountains have something that will keep on bringing us back. It's where we first fell in love with camping when our children were very young.

Back in our old haunt of the Blue Mountains to catch up with friends

One less of us... farewell Seti, you were an absolute button!
