1999 Travels April 25

 SUNDAY 25 APRIL     MILDURA

We intended today to be a quiet one, before a very busy week ahead for John.

Drove over the bridge into NSW and east a short way, to Gol Gol, where there was a roadside stall where we bought grapefruit and grapes.

Back on the Victorian side, we paid a brief visit to Kings Billabong, on Mildura’s southern edge, by the old pumping station at Psyche Bend. This was not the bird-plentiful wetland that I’d hoped to see, and was rather a let down. But we did see a square tailed kite.

Back at the caravan park, we went for a walk along the track beside the river for an hour or so. The changing light on the river was interesting.

Tea was cold corned beef and hot vegies.
