Echuca - Cobram

We had a very pleasant three night stop at Echuca Top Tourist Caravan Park, it was nice just to hang around the caravan park and to walk to the Port and local shops unwinding after the big klms covered over the past week. We also enjoyed the usual visit to the Beechworth Bakery for their famous Beehive Bun, we didn't share this time. Would have liked to have stayed in Echuca for the rest of the week, but it would have meant we would need to move sites. Bazza said if we have to move, might as well make it worthwhile so decided to continue onto Cobram 106 klms east. We will stay here  for our remaining days then return to Melbourne to catch the boat on Saturday.

Tuesday we headed north back over the Murray River (Vic & NSW Boarder) back into NSW, as Kenny our Tom Tom decided this was the fastest route, 16klm nth of Moama we headed east the route taking us through Barmah where we crossed the Murray again and back into Victoria. We arrived at the Cobram Top Tourist Willows Caravan Park by 11am, giving the van a wash down before going onto our site. Today we were back in NSW again after going over to Tocumwal (Toc to the locals) for lunch, stopping on our way back at the Big Strawberry to have a home made strawberry ice cream cone.

Don & Bridget live in Cobram and today we were able to catch up with Don as Bridget is overseas visiting her daughter who has just had a baby. We met them a couple of years ago when we were at Seaforth and have kept in touch since.
