Treetops at Riddells Creek

Back at treetops for a couple of days. Our daughter  wasn't well and spent overnight in hospital. We were at Waranga basin, near Rushworth. We had stayed at Waranga a couple of times earlier in the year. The park is only a couple of klms out of the historic gold town of Rushworth. The town has a small IGA supermarket a couple of cafes, two pubs and a laundrette. Rushworth has  its own medical centre as well as a branch of the Bendigo bank. A strong community supports other businesses in the town as well. The town is more or less surrounded by one of the largest Ironbark forests in Australia and it also has a deep history of gold. Some say that there are still a lot of nuggets out there to be found. This time, those nuggets have managed to elude me, but their time will come. Waranga basin and the channel system of waterways that come from it are also good fishing spots for redfin, yellowbelly and ,in season, murray crays.
