Ballarat, this is the arch over the highway to Melbourne. First world War rememberance which leads on to 23 ks of English trees with plaques of all local men lost at War.
Another view of where we stayed right on the Murray river,

This is the view from our caravan park, not bad.


This is where we were training, what a view!!! right on the Murray at our caravan park.



Had to take a picture of the original Port, you can see on the left hand side where they are replacing the pylins, at a cost of millions.




Can you spot the BC??? dozens of river boats privatley owned on the river.





The boiler man checking the steam engine. What a beautiful working power house.






Emmy Lou on the Murray River. Once a very busy working river







Keith and I had the best trip down river on the 'Alexander Arbuthbot' She was actually under water for 20 years, luckily she was lovingly restored and is back working again.








Keith at Port street Echuca, famous for the paddle steamers.









This is my favourite mow cow, Ned Kelly theme!!! I am freezing as you can see.










Shepparton, is famous for it's Dairy cows, as you can see Keith can't keep away from his farming background.

Some good pictures of Echuca, we are going there in a couple of weeks and have found some good accommodation listings on the Echuca website. Any you can recommend and and maybe even few attractions you think are 'must see'? Cheers. J
