Swan Hill Vic

After a peaceful night at Lake Boga, we were woken by the Melbourne bound train roaring past the Caravan Park at 7.30am.

Although a chilly 4 degrees a gorgeous sunny day was coming.

No need to hurry so had morning tea at the lake side then made our way 15km to Swan Hill.

We needed fuel and a few food items so walked the entire town to do a small amount of shopping.

We found another perfect picnic spot for lunch, this time on the bank of the mighty Murray River  and were entertained by a large flock  of Corellas.

We then drove further north to Nyah West, a really old but sad little town which was a virtual ghost town.
