Hi All ! Thought I posted Wednesday's before heading in to our bushcamp on the Murray on Thursday. Sorry!
Wednesday arrived and the day was rainy. How unusual!! We travelled across country and up the back roads to Ballarat, Creswick(where we visited the woollen mills) and Bendigo. We free camped out of Elmore on the Campaspe River at the old Field Day site. A beautiful grassy spot!
We had emailed(last week) a few friends we had intended to visit on the way home but in the wonderful retired motorhoming way they were all off enjoying life!! One couple were enjoying the Murray,the slow way, so we rang to see how far they'd driven and if we could meet up. Luck was with us,so we organised to meet at Echuca on Thursday morning and bush camp till Sunday together. Had a wonderful time talking, walking, bike-riding,relaxing, and had a campfire each night. Jan even cooked a fruitcake in the campoven(the cheat's way).
For those travelling, we stayed at Christies Beach on the Victorian side of the Murray not far out of Echuca on Simmies Rd(site 316 in Camps3)Very large, fronts the river for at least 5km's, heavily wooded so lots of shade.
