Home safe and sound.

Got home last night. Most dangerous aspect of trip was driving
through Syd in pouring rain with semi trailers all around. Now for the
clean up.

The mighty Snowy River


Just a mill pond these days. It must have been an awesome sight before the water diversion.

Camped tonight at Native Dog Flat


GR 970 160, just south of the AAWT at the Cobberas where it turned NW. This cross country route is on good quality dirt road and I think it gives easier access to drop boxes than the route I used to place them.

Bonegilla Migrant Reception Centre


Near Albury/Wodonga.

I visited it this morning as Eddie spent his first 3 months in AU here. He has fond memories of rabbiting with a mates dog and a general good time in the open fields, before the family headed to Geelong and as they say, the rest is history. It routinely housed 7000 people. The visitor book was unfortunately just 2 days old but each person making an entry was pleased to be able to return and relive memories. Only block 19 remains (of 28) but this is a dozen or more buildings including the hall, the kitchen and living quarters so an impression is easily gained.

Lake Hume


I do believe there is something missing here!
