Kyneton to Yarrawonga 6/10/22

We were glad that it wasn’t as rainy as the previous day, but it was still a bit limiting for us as far as taking a look on our way.

At Heathcote we found our way around one blocked waterway (river over road) only to find that the track we hoped to take to the lookout was a dirt one and probably too wet to be a good idea. The lookout would have been pretty useless anyway if we got there, because the cloud was so low that the visibility woudl have been limited. We decided jsut to move on instead.

We stopped to view the brightly painted silos at Colbinabbin alongside a bus full of Oldsmobile enthusiasts.

We navigated the back roads and found the right place to see cousin Daryl and wife Katie on the dairy farm near Stanhope, enjoying some excellent chat and a cuppa before moving on again.

Then to the bakery at Shepparton to buy lunch and took it off to a parking spot beside the river, watching a laughing kookaburra through the car window as we ate.

Then, since we had a break in rain we decided to make the most of it and see what was down the path. “More Water” was the answer. We had to leave the track to make it through and to be very careful where and how we walked to stay upright. The river is way up and the lagoon next to the main river is very high.

Then it was onwards again, to Yarrawonga, where we checked into our home for the next week. We have a mezzanine bedroom for Erica!

We took a little drive around town to remind ourselves of the lay of the land and found some food at one of the Chinese restaurants (Mulwala Club) before heading home to recover from the trip.
