28th October....... Leaving Swan Hill around 8.45am we headed for Cobram some 255km away, stopping at Cohuna for morning tea . We are staying at the Cobram Willows Caravan Park just 1.5kms from town. After setting up and having lunch we headed to town . We visited "The Log Cabin" on the outskirts

27th October...........Today we visited what the locals call Thompson's Beach on the Murray River, Australia's largest inland beach. The surrounds area was very pretty with lots of BBQ areas around. 

 

 We spent a couple of hours walking around the Agricultural Show with lots of local exhibits in craft, cake making, photography and art even logo making. The fancy chooks, animal nursery, sheep shearing, sheep being rounded up by the dogs. We had lunch while we watched the show jumping and horse judging.

 

29th October

Today we left Cobram for Police Paddock 12 kms from Rutherglen to free camp by the Murray River with Trish & Rob. When Graeme & I arrived there won't many places vacant. The area we chose was near another van but far enough away not to cause any bother to anyone. We set up and waited for Trish & Rob to arrive, they were later than they thought around 4.30pm. Just after they arrived the woman from the other van decided we were "in their space" and gave us a mouth full. It was very unpleasant. What made it worse was we were between then and their friends so all we got were looks. We got through the night had as lovely dinner and early night.

30th October

This morning Trish & I went for a walk and found another area to park, we just had to convince the boys, which we did. There was a van there locked up with no one around, but when we started to set up the people arrived. They were quite happy for us to be there. They had come from Wodonga to mow the lawns and set up, Heather & Edward, they were coming back the next day for a week or so with other members of their family. They restored our faith in human nature, made us most welcome. We had a good day, Graeme went fishing & Rob Kayaking down the river. We finished the day with a lamb roast and lots of talk.
