Dinner on the Rothbury June 28th

We treated ourselves to an outing... dinner on the Rothbury Paddle Steamer.

It was a bit of a close call , as we arrived home from Mungo about 5 minutes before we were due to leave for the evening.

The Rothbury, built in 1881, is one of three in a group here in Mildura.  You can join a dinner or a lunch cruise on it.




It was really a bit cold for it, as you had to be outside to see the lovely riverbanks lit up as we paddled past (the windows steamed up pretty fast).  We paddled upstream from the port of Mildura , past the Trentham Winery, and then paddled back again as we ate roast dinner and dessert and somehow managed to dispose of a bottle of wine as well.

We had some great company with others from the resort including the Forrests and the McLeans.

This cruise would be better in warmer weather when it is not dark so early, or as a lunch time entertainment.
