Mildura Limping into town we headed straight to the vacant block Jason and Leah had organized (Leah's fathers). Unpacked Tim found somewhere to get a metal sleeve made to repair the breakage. We had a shop at Bunning's, (our windows in the bus are getting pretty dirty)!! We then put the boat in, had a swim and then a spin up the river. The Murray River here is huge, very wide with plenty of water flowing, with the weir just on the West side of the town this see...

The foreshore precinct had many parks for the kids to play, A good choice for our first spot to stay. Visiting the ancient (20 million year old) vo...

On the road again all loaded up with boat and ute we drove to the freeway parked and and went to Glenrowan where the capture of Ned Kelly took place. Unfortunately the show was not running that day but we were able to have a look around the meseum and read lots about the life of Ned Kelly the famous bushranger.
