Monday we headed for the Murray River , famous for it’s ability to transport a large range of goods down the river on paddle steamers in the early days of settlement. We stayed at” Merool on the Murray.” Yep the name sounds very much the same as the last place.
I had a paddle in the Murray but was surprised how low it was after such a big flood in December. I had a swim in the pool and we went for dinner at the RSL ( Returned Services League’s )club.
I felt so sorry for them all . There was still a lot to be done , lots of of cleaning and reclaiming of their lives after the floods . Some of the cabins here at the van park had been made to resemble the old riverside as it. would have been in its hay day.
