Thanks everybody, but it's really easy - all I have to do is follow Maree (one "r") around and see what she sees.

just did the reverse of this the other day, Norman. Please be very careful of the roadside shoulders if there has been rain, slow to a crawl for passing traffic.
Now wished I had visited Charlotte Plains -has hot springs which is always great
and
Bollon was a great free camp, nice place too
Suggest you pencil in St George for the weekend at the earliest.
Sorry about the road kill

Miss you already the stealth Annette & Darryl, never heard a thing this morning. Twas a great time huh? The edges of the roads from Condobolin to here i.e. Lake Cargelligo (dead mans point) are also very water logged and super boggy. We have been outside watching a Hercules plane do fly arounds and touch and go stuff interesting to see Chuck frothing at the mouth whilst singing memories

Col & Jenny, Peter & Sandra are also home safe and sound, was great to put more names to faces. Think they had a good time because we were rather naughty

well some were (not me) Keep warm Norman & Christine x (no sheep were abused during the rams stay)

Dot, When you are done at Lake Carelligo, go out via Rankin Springs and visit the pub, amongst other places of interest (not many, unfortunately). Terries Dad grew up there and there are still pictures on the wall of him and his brothers in all the footy teams. We were there around Easter time.

David weren't the pictures there when the pub burnt down a few years ago?
To be honest I was surprised they did rebuild it.
Spent more than one night drinking in that pub on my travels years ago.
One of my mates rolled his semi coming down off the hill heading N into Rankin Springs. Load of small bales of hay heading to drought stricken Bathurst at the time.

Ha Ha Ha, there is only one pub..... ohh. Les McDuff

They presently reside at Mulwala. Go home that way and have a look at the Yarrawonga Common. Or some of the beaches on the Murray at Cobram.
