The wind had dropped and we had perfect still water as we walked along the beach towards our favourite rock fishing spot. As we headed on to the rocks Trev spied a hooded plover pair. We saw another one on the shore as we walked back a few hours later, laden down with such aContinue reading “Perfect Day for Valentines Day 14/2/23”

Mullalong 13/2/23
Due to the SE wind near the campsite four of us decided to head across the point to Mullalong beach where the wind should be in a kinder direction. We took the rocky track across there (about 5km) and stood at the top of the hill looking down on the beautiful beach, full of hope.Continue reading “Mullalong 13/2/23”
A S/E wind and Seasick Bay 12/2/23
We were the last up by a mile again, but the others don’t seem to hold it against us and there certainly seems to be no frantic hurry to get out there. We sat and ate a leisurely bacon and egg breakfast and had a cuppa before getting ready for the walk to the point.Continue reading “A S/E wind and Seasick Bay 12/2/23”
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!”
Coming Home from Yarrawonga 13/10/22
Summary of the last day of our trip to Victoria for the National Orienteering Carnival, followed by some holiday in Kyneton and Yarrawonga.
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 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”
Friends, Mount Macedon and Forest Glade Gardens 2/10/22
We caught up with our friends Bill and Audrey and their kids Fred and Albert for the first time in a few years. They live in Melbourne, and don’t come back to Adelaide much any more, so it was good to take the time and renew the ties. They suggested that we meet at theContinue reading “Friends, Mount Macedon and Forest Glade Gardens 2/10/22”
