Four nights in Moama and still not quite enough time to catch up with our hosts,Jac and Mark still, that will happen. A busy time with my meetings, Marg. catching up with some workmates, a bit of shopping and off to Mooroopna. Caught up with James, Kate and kids over dinner and a day catching up in park at Mooroopna and off again. Head wind down the Goulburn Valley highway that is mostly duplicated now. Thats gotta be good for road stats as it has been a horror piece of road for a long time. The stretch from Murchison to Shepparton holds some horrendous records and is why I started the driver reviver along that stretch in 1979.
Swung off the GV at Nagambie and headed West. Through the rolling hills of the early goldfields depicted by mullock heaps and the native iron barks through Greytown and Costerfield we headed for Heathcote.A break for morning tea/lunch at Gaffneys bakery which has been a favourite stopping place for years. Met Kate and Pete White, from Echuca/Moama there and a good catch up. Kate and I worked together at the Port years ago and Pete now runs E/M tourism and is doing a great job there.
On to Tooborac, Lancefield down the range to Romsey. Called in on Elise, Alistair and children before moving on to Treetops at Riddells Creek. We had pre-booked and our host, Paul had already placed a fire drum and enough wood for a couple of days at our site. Great to be back. The grounds are greener than when we left, the kangaroos are still plentiful and the sounds of the distant planes from Tulla can be heard. Nice to be here.
