We're getting close

Well here it is day twelve of the trip and we are camped at Kyffins Reserve just north of Yarrawonga. Today we moved on from Police Paddocks which was quite restful on the Murray river and took our time not travelling very far at all. We spent quite a bit of time in Rutherford and helped the local economy by buying some provisions and particularly some fruit as we are now in the fruit fly zone and couldn't carry fruit into it.

Funny part of the story is while looking for this site we crossed a bridge and find ourselves back in NSW and we can't legally take the fruit we bought in VIC back over the border. Sure is a ridiculous situation.

The trip has been relatively uneventful but Allan has been having trouble with the battery in the vehicle he is towing on a caddy constantly going flat and needed to be recharged. I think this is due to the ridiculous way the auto electrician has wired the lighting set-up. Today the battery seems to have said enough is enough and has given up the ghost and he will have to tow it into town tomorrow to have things attended to.

We are tonight camped on the edge of a man made lake and there is quite a breeze. Always seems a pity to me the those who build these things don't have the foresight to remove all the trees as this lake is littered with dead trees standing in the water.

We will camp here for a couple of nights and then move on to Numurkah where we will catch up with Timmy and his driver. Timmy has his own blog and you can see it at http://www.dogdogs.com.au/ Timmy and his driver are great company and we have enjoyed their company in the past when Timmy and his driver camped at our place.

Just about every second person we talk to is heading for Tasmania or offers to carry our bags if we let them climb aboard. Might be quite busy down there.
