The last entry on this blog saw us leaving the Murray in Victoria and here we are back again, well not quite! Although we have now started our Murray adventure with our friends Bob and Ellen we are actually presently settled along side the Mitta Mitta river at Tallangatta, a small town in Victoria's high country that was moved 8 kms west in the 1950's to make way for the expansion of Lake Hume.

We're now spending a quiet day here settling in before we s...

December and January seem to have just flown by and now we are already into February. How did that happen?
