Week 7
8th – 14th July
This week was what bush camping is all about 3 days on the bank of the Murray River just outside the township of Echuca. This was all that we thought it would be. Relaxing in the sun while the houseboats motor past.
Throwing crab pots and fishing lines in the mucky water, but still nothing at the end of the day.
The river was a perfect flow for canoeing. While there were no other campers around us, we could imagine the area being very popular in the holiday season. We had some great warming fires and sunsets that were always a surprise. We will certainly be back to this area.
Thursday we travelled along the Cobb Highway to Hay. This area is known as the long paddock. It is where drovers move their cattle and sheep along the side of the Hwy to feed. It is a hard life for them camping on the roadside with their family, dogs, horses and a quad bike to control the stock.
Through Narrandera and onto Grong Grong for the night. A must stop free camp mark it in your camps book. Kerbside parking, electricity, BBQs and toilets all spotlessly clean.The pride in this town was just amazing. The town has a population of 392 residents and definitely RV friendly.
Friday was a travelling day, across to Termoa, Young, Cowra, Orange and then on to Lake Burrendong, for another 3 day stop. A huge camping area with manicured lawns and lots of wildlife. Reading, fishing, canoeing and knitting. Great sunshine we must be getting close to that Qld border.
