It seems to me lately that because I am posting these memoirs on the web site that I may not be putting down as much as I was prior to doing so. This was never my intention, as I originally intended the memoirs to also be a record of things, like […]

Today was spent deciding what we intend to do while here, and after visiting the information centre we have found that there is heaps to do in this area. We were here in Wagga back in October 2001 for a week and I do not have any memories of doing […]

How easy it is to change plans: We headed off this morning with the intention of going to a small town called Lockhart, 100 km northish of Albury, and 50 km South west of Wagga. We knew it was a small town and the main reason for picking it was […]

Linda is back home so things are now getting back to normal.
We found a few tricks with catching the train from this area to Melbourne: The one Linda caught going down was actually a NSW train from Sydney and cost $22.00, reasonable we thought, but coming back she caught a V-Line, […]

Miserable days with it constantly raining. Nothing to do so I went for a drive to the north east, and ended up at Tallangatta, near Albury. Lake Hume, when in contains water, also encompasses some of this area and it is that low that the water is back to the original […]

I found out today how to scare the pants off someone petrified of heights: Take them for a drive from Bright to Mount Hotham. Mount Hotham is different to Falls Creek area as it is not flat at all, the whole area is mountainous and very steep, so consequently the last […]

A trip to the highlands, Falls Creek, today and our plans didn’t come together. To start we were a little late leaving home so we wouldn’t have had enough time to do the walks we had planned. Then there were too many walks to complete in one day, and I don’t […]

The long weekend is over, and normally I would now be saying “Thank god for that, the kids have now gone home”. It has been quite a surprise that the campers that were close to us, and their total of 5 kids were extremely well behaved. It was almost as though […]
