Happy Easter everyone.
With Easter arriving we hadn't planned our trip to well thru Victoria, to be in Beaudesert for a new exhaust system by the 16th April. So it was across the Murray river into NSW from Robinvale, to Hay via Balranald (this is thru the Hay Plains) it is named so because, you guessed it the long flat plains. Hay was part of the area flooded, with the big rains from Qld through NSW. The water across the roads had subsided, but the edges of the road were plentiful and lucky we didn't to stop roadside for anything. Spent 2 nights in Hay.....nothing remarkable about the place, oh except the size and abundance of mozzies. We survived, by finishing all chores and showers before 5pm.
Next day it was off to Gundagai via Wagga Wagga and Narrendera. Gundagai was the start of the elevation, I would post a photo from the lookout, but it is in the camera's memory and not the memory card.....so I can't share, until I work out how to and if I can copy it.
The next day it is on the road again, but this time for a day trip to Albury/Wodonga and there was a market at Albury. On the road early, with expectation in the air we drive down the Hume Hwy. One thing to mention about the roads especially in NSW and the little of Vic we did they are SHIT (excuse the language), but it is a reality. We are sure no money was spent on infrastructure when Labor were in state gov. Anyway on the road for our 235 km trip to the long awaited market. We find the market with the help of "the bitch in the box" or "Her Maj", depending on how well she conducts herself with the instructions and locking in a gps signal before she starts working.
Gold coin donation to enter the Rotary Market, but boohoo.....it was like a gigantic garage sale everyone getting rid of their rubbish. Very little, fresh veges. Oh there were donuts, being made before your eyes and any flavour sugar topping you could think of, but like everything here it wasn't for us. A browse Albury and then Wodonga......we think Albury is a bit more exciting, they at least had a few coffee shops open Easter Sunday to have a cuppa before our return 235 km trip. We shared the driving Len to and me from. (Len must have been calm enough with me driving as he had a nap.
