We left the Mildura crickets behind (thousands of them everywhere, including in our washing off the line) and set off for Swan Hill. Morning tea was at a rest area beside the Murray (photo) just out of Robinvale.
We set up in the Big 4 at Swan Hill - this is an excellent park with large, grassed sites and outstanding amenities. After a little shopping we headed for Lake Boga (photo) and the Catalina Museum - they are restoring a Catalina (photo) in a new building which was actually built around the plane. Lake Boga was a maintenance facility for catalinas and other flying boats during World War 2 - there is a very interesting Museum here including video footage of Catalina attacks on shipping.
Until recently the lake was dry but is now close to overflowing - sand bags were in place.
We then drove to the banks of the river to once again see it in all its magnificence.
Tomorrow we have a short drive into Echuca for our overnight.
