Day 2- Pirie to Cowell

We lay in bed in our camper listening to the sounds of a waking world: the tap tap tap of spoons on cereal bowls, the street sweeper out on the street and the local pigeons singing their repetitive song. Once we were clear to go inside and not interrupt the morning routine we headed inContinue reading “Day 2- Pirie to Cowell”

Away again at last!

It’s been a while since we’ve had a chance to take off in the camper. Have we forgotten how to do it? I have certainly forgotten how little I can fit in a 42 litre fridge. After a final goodbye to part of the family we were on the road just before 1pm and headingContinue reading “Away again at last!”

Other Stuff at Yarrawonga 9-13/10/22

I think we were in need of a rest. We had a lovely sleep in, then caught up with our friend Maurice for a few hours. This was a much better chat than we had managed at the sprint event a few days prior. It was unlucky for him that he had to make anotherContinue reading “Other Stuff at Yarrawonga 9-13/10/22”

Yarrawonga Regional Park walk 8/10/22

Every picture tells a story. Looking at the map above you can see where we hoped to walk (all the tracks shown) and where we managed to get to. We parked the car and walked in OK from the end of the road, but every track we tried ended up in the water. It wasContinue reading “Yarrawonga Regional Park walk 8/10/22”

Yarrawonga Weir Walk 8/10/22

The Yarrawonga Weir was constructed between 1935 and 1939 and formed Lake Mulwala. The twin towns of Yarrawonga (on the Victorian side of the River Murray) and Mulwala (on the NSW side) are linked by a narrow bridge. Most of the facilities are on the Victorian side of the river. You can just imagine whatContinue reading “Yarrawonga Weir Walk 8/10/22”

Chinaman’s Island Walk – 7/10/22

Our first walk in Yarrawonga was to a spot called Chinaman’s Island. This is not really an island, but is almost one. It is land set aside as a nature reserve and has a lovely path to follow with some great views. The area was used as market garden, pig farm and pastoral farm forContinue reading “Chinaman’s Island Walk – 7/10/22”

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 theContinue reading “Kyneton to Yarrawonga 6/10/22”

Walks near Kyneton 4/10/22

After a late start we headed out to take a look at a couple of parks near our current home base. Bald Hills Reserve Bald Hill Reserve is only a few km the other side of Kyneton from us. There isn’t much information about the place and we couldn’t access any map on the webContinue reading “Walks near Kyneton 4/10/22”
