We finally set off last week after Josh and Jess were able to move into their new house. That was a relief for them - and for Kristian as the builder! We helped move in the lounge suite and floor rug, then left the excited couple to settle in. It’s a beautiful home and they look forward to many happy years there.
Our first destination was camp Boosey at Scott & Berny’s over Yarrawonga way. It was perfect timing as we were able to watch all the sport at the local Katamatite oval and then a night game in Wangaratta. Abbey rocked up in a very jazzy Mercedes which was very popular. And James had his own cheer squad!
It was lovely to catch up with the family - all are well and busy! We saw Ben’s new house and also caught up with Mark & Kerri at Chloe’s new house - so a very full family weekend!
Whilst we were there Dennis & Tops received news of a sudden death and wanted to attend the funeral today, so we completed a bit of a loop and after a week, we’re here at Deniliquin and Dennis &Tops are back home. Dennis was also fortunate to have enough time to purchase another tractor! We made Urana our next stop, and what a beautiful little place this is! We were very lucky to be in the right place at the right time, and to be offered a ride in a party boat around the lake. We had no hesitation in accepting that offer and enjoyed a scenic tour of the lovely lake.
We had a day trip to Lockhart and their street art is quite spectacular. We also spent some time in the museum, which was very well presented.
We had an easy trip from Urana to here, with a coffee stop at Jerilderie. We’ve driven past this caravan park by the bridge many times, and always comment that it would be a good place to stay - well it sure is! We’re able to have our campfire and it’s spacious, clean, tidy and quite picturesque on the banks of the Edward River. It’s an easy walk into town and we toured around and found things we didn’t know were here. The new Depot museum here is well worth seeing with great displays - it’s lovely to see things like this virtually on our doorstep!
Tomorrow we pack up and will meet our travelling partners in Hay - what a pity Murrabit are playing Hay at home! From there we’ll look at our options but there’s a park out of Wilcannia that’s been on my wish list for a while so perhaps we’ll end up there? We’ve been very fortunate with the weather as it’s been glorious and perfect for camping. We trust everyone is also enjoying this beautiful weather and are as happy as we are.
Love from Marg & Darryl
