Cobram and Beyond

We start this week still at Little Tom's Beah camp in Cobram, and the week started out with foggy mornings but still the sun shone through the day.

We had  a couple of visitors around our camp, what I thought were possums hissing and grunting turned out to be koalas, and the skippys were out and about too, not to mention 1 black snake that I didn't stay around to take its picture.

 It was sad to say goodbye to our friends in Cobram but looking forward to moving on again and drying out.

So after delaying for yet another day, we left Cobram and headed East, higher along the Murray, passing Lake Hume and almost into the High Country.

Bridge over Lake Hume

We have been having beautiful weather and knew it couldn't last, however found a lovely camp at Bellowye Creek, right on the edge of the Murray, the river is getting clearer and clearer as we move East, and where we are now it is crystal clear.

Magnificent sunsets

We have made this a base camp and have done a couple of day trips around the area.

Spoiled ourselves to lunch at the Jingellic Pub, where we stayed 10 years ago, and a favourite of Les' from bike riding days.

               

Also went into to see the historical town of Walwa and some beautiful lookouts along the way (pity about the weather).

Does anyone know what this is??

Found in an old farm shed.

Mt Alfred Lookout

And finally a stop at the Sam McPaul Memorial to the young Rural Firefighter who lost his life in the 2019 bushfires
