First night we ended up at Gundagai, 393 kms. On way to Gundagai it rained, Ah! we thought not again as it rained most of our trip to Cape York. We changed plans for accommodation and stayed at the undercover caravan park. Traffic noise kept Warren awake most of the night.
Day 2 we set off for Hay 342 kms. Via Wagga Wagga, Narrandra, again showers, then into Hay, we stayed at the big 4 caravan park Hay for 1 night stopover.
Day 3 we decided to drive into the town of Hay to check out the Motel we baby sat during our relief motel work.
then off to Mildura continuing on the Hay plains. We past a siding called Hells Gate, which reminded Warren of Banjo Patterson's poem, please deliver me from Hay, Hell and Booligal. Flat grounds, no trees, the odd cattle and sheep grazing then after crossing the mighty Murray River into Mildura. What an impressive town at first sight tree lined wide streets, and no rain, we decided to stay an extra day and booked into the Big 4 cross roads caravan park.
Saturday we decided to go on the Paddle Steamer for a trip down the Murray and through Lock 11. We boarded the Rothbury Paddle Steamer selected front seats with a great view, pulled out from the jetty heard a bang, broken rudder cable, back to the jetty, received a refund and disembarked.
Went to the tourist information centre which is the best one we have ever seen.
Sunday we finally took the Murray River cruise, which we enjoyed, this time it was on a different paddle steamer "Melbourne"
