Such is life

From Albury, I decided to follow the Murray River up toward Mildura, and along the way stopped to take in 'bushranger country' where Australia's most famous did his work. In Glenrowan there is, of course, a BIG Ned Kelly, plus a Ned Kelly's Last Stand theme park, and as much memorabilia as you could ever want.

It's beautiful country through here, such a shame to ruin the view with a takeaway joint.

The BIG Cherry

In season cherries straight from the farm....absolutely delicious! Apologies to all the cars driving behind me who may have had a pip or 20 clip their windscreen along the way.

Couldn't beat this for a camp spot

Once I'd got to Mildura, I wasn't really sure which direction I might take. Back through some more of Victoria, Adelaide, or further north. I had a friend back in Brisbane recommend I definitely see Broken Hill, and after chatting with a Mildura local who was passionate about the place, my next destination was set.
