Gismo Queen and her King

Gol Gol to Greens Lake

All good things must come to an end. Tonight is our last night on the road, and we are camped on the very peaceful shores of Greens Lake, east of Rochester. Yes, we're back in Victoria after having visited four States on this trip. We were on the road by 9:30am this morning, and crossed the Murray into Victoria about 80km later. We continued travelling along the Murray until Swan Hill, where we stopped for fuel and for lunch. Then we veered towards Kerang, Cohuna and Echuca, then south from there we headed to Greens Lake. We have heard good things about this place so were keen to check it out, as it would be a good campsite for weekend trips from home. As we pulled in, the lake is full of water and looked very peaceful. There wasn't a ripple on the water and plenty of water birds around. We found a flat spot avoiding the wet spots (apparently it's been wet in Victoria?!) and soon had the fire roaring. We enjoyed afternoon tea with the last of our delights from Jude's Cafe Bushtracker as the sun set and ducks headed home. So this is our last campfire, our last dinner, our last marshmallows toasted over the fire, our last Baileys (missing the Baileys glasses, Neill!) and our last cosy night in the Patriot - for this trip anyway. Time to start planning for the big trip!
