Mulwala to Gundagai


After a beautiful sunrise over Lake Mulwala we set off for Gundagai for our last night -  at the Top Tourist Park (photo).
We drove through Albury and then came across two very wide loads being transported on trailers - they took up almost the entire width of the highway -  the drivers of the trailers contacted us on our CB's and advised us that they would, when possible, wave us through when they figured we had room - thank goodness for the radios.





After setting up we took the history walk through the town. This included a walk down to the river to see the 'Old Bridges' - the traffic bridge is now in a sad state but it was part of the road link on the Sydney-Melbourne road until 1977. The rail bridge was built in 1903 and must have been an incredible project in those times - this bridge is about 900 metres long. We also visited the old Railway Station - this was in beautiful condition, well maintained.
This is the last night of our fantastic trip (we will be home tomorrow) so we will dine out at the local club.
