driving, lunching, planning and eating. June 25th

Monday 25th was a quiet day.

We had to be up in time to have pancake breakfast supplied to us and enjoyed this along with many of the other guests staying here at Sunraysia resort. It was a good opportunithy to meet some of the others and we enjoyed getting to know two Ians and their wives -
Rosemary (with the Ian from Warracknabeal who is a massage) and Val (with the one from Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula).  We talked of timeshare, Kokoda, Kayaking and bad holiday experiences and planed to meet up again later in the week at another event.

Trevor and I walked out to get the paper and came home and did the crossword, before heading off to the Gol Gol pub for lunch, where we had a delightful lunch (and too much tasty dessert) looking out over the lawns to the river.

We walked down to the river edge after lunch, and then along to see the kayak launching spot close by in the public park, which we could use later in the week.  There is lots of council work going on here, with use of recycled plastic material in the form of planks for the retaining walls, picnic tables and seats and bollards.   

Trev spotted some parrots in the dead tree just nearby. Male outclassing the female in bright colours as usual.  Lots of pairs of birds guarding their various nests.

We wandered the river tracks on the NSW side of the river, taking note of possible launching spots in case we decide to try to reinvestigate the area near Green point. ((just past 896). Some of the river bank is newly fenced here.  It seems you can privately own the riverbank.

We took a few tracks on the way home, particularly the river flats just near the end of the bridge on the NSW side.  There is a caravan park here that has some really cute little sculptures on their lawn.

 If a bird came to drink this would look like the little girl was chatting to the bird  :)
