Into Victoria

From Cooma in the Snowy Mountains, we ventured further South, staying a night in a town named "Howlong" (there have been many jokes, puns etc at the expense of Howlong and also Toolong, which is another town in Oz). The proprietor of the caravan park in Howlong was amazed when she saw the name I had written on our registration form. Her maiden name was Bregmen and she is from Papakura. Of course a discussion ensued in which Bregmen identities were either known or not to both her and Brandt.

From Howlong we made our way via Shepparton to Greens Lake, where other grey nomads have been camped for varying lengths of time. At the writing of this there are 13 of us here. Upon arrival I took a photo through the kitchen window


Brandt has since put the awning out, and the only view through the kitchen window is of the roof of the awning.
The lake is very popular at weekends. One local chap offered rides on his jet ski


A down side here is the amount of bindi burr plant that is in seed. Cheryl decided to assist her dogs when taking them for a walk


Cute eh? We are frequently taking the burrs out of their coats. The socks are to prevent the burrs getting between their toes.

Here is the line up off RVs on the shore line
