Wagga Wagga to Nelligen to Sussex Inlet

From the 8th September to the 9th September
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We left Wagga Wagga by 9.am to head towards home.
  

We had a good run. But after Pat had stopped for fuel at Gundagai 
I said pleas drive past the old dog on the Tucker Box.
So as I can take a photo. 


They have made it so different now . It never had a fountain and all this stuff.
Well tourism counts these days. 



Going down the Clyde Mountain 
Pat pulled over a bit so as I could take a photo of the cave they have for Pooh bears.   



Just a few of the road going down the Clyde.


Being it was going on 4.pm and was to late getting home.
 So we derided stayed for our last night befor home
at Nelligen Caravan park  


It is a lovely spot next to the river.


I had to take some photos 



It was not till the next morning when looked out the window
 that I saw the river was full
I told Pat to have a look he just laughed. 


Saying that it is a tidal  river you silly old ?
So gave him a thump.


Next I don't have to say .
 But will was turning into Sussex Inlet was such a good feeling. 


I had rang Rick of course to say we will be home in 2 min's. 
Of course I had to take a photo of him waiting out the front For us. 
The best  Big Hugs all round while Bundy was barking his head of.

Port Lincoln South Australia - to - Wagga Wagga New South Wales

leaving Port Lincoln 1st Sep - To Wagga Wagga 7th Sep. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
leaving port Lincoln with a few very dark clouds over head.
We started on our way towards Port Auguster. 
But there was some very big dark rain clouds that just seemed to follow us.


They seemed to be going the same way as us.
We are heading past Port Auguster. 
 looking at the Flinders Rangers in the back ground. 


We can see the rain heading strait for us. 


It became so heavy and with all the trucks whizzing  past not even slowing down.
Pat pulled over and put his Hazard lights on.
just till it eased up a bit. 
That made me happy doing this. 


With in half an hour it had all but gone.


We pulled into Morgan a small town for lunch.
 But just happen to see a Bakery's . yum yum.



So of course I sent Pat in with our order.
One chunky meat pie for me - One curry meat pie for Pat.
A cream bun for me  - one iced  doughnut for Pat. 
Boy we did enjoy them.


This is the Border line and inception point.
From South Australia to Victoria   
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Mildura Victoria  3rd Sep


After getting set up at our caravan park.
The next day we went to have a look around Mildura 


Love going to see the Murry River again 
it has been a few years since we were here last.



Pat was enjoying taken some photos.



The bridge over the river is a Border Line.
  Taking you from.
Victoria to New south Wales.



There are some lovely house boats  here. 
Also a great caravan park right on the river front. 


They have put in a lot of new jetty's along the river.





love these trees. There are so meany growing around Mildura  
they are called Chinese Ornamental Plum.  


Next day we went to see an old Home Stead.
We both enjoyed walking around it all.




I have to have some fun in the photos.





I no silly old girl. oh well if it makes you smile.
Good one .


We found an old Loo but the door had been nailed shut. 



Pat was watching an Paddle Steamer going through a 
water lock. 





It was good watching it go by.
We did this ride a few years ago now. 




Lovely flowering gum Flowers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
Heading to Wagga Wagga n.s.w 


We had to pull up as the farmer was taking his heard 
to the other side of the road. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Arrived 5th Sep. At Wagga Wagga set in caravan park.
so next day of we go again to see the town.
After that we decided to go see.


 The Botanical gardens.
 We found the best part was the Chinese garden. 
 This is the walk way to this section of the garden. 



Love the Magnolia Flowers.



Pat was so busy taking all the flowers he so enjoyed that. 




I loved walking through this section. 


So loved the little door ways to each section of a garden. 


All of the camellias are not out yet. to early for them . Same with the azaleas.      


This has got to be my favorite photo.
I must say I took this one. I no my head is starting to get bigger.
But so love the way the hole in the wall shows another Picture. 



One of Pats flower he took.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next day being Sunday 7th Sep. we went to the local market in town. 
 But was so Disappointed.there would have been only about 14 stalls there
I said to Pat for a town this size cant be-leave this is all they have.    


So we went for a walk around the Memorial Park
 Pat is on the phone to Rick for Fathers Day. 


We did go up to the look out. But so many trees growing there it is hard to take a photo
They do not even have it laid out for viewing.
 A few visitors. thought the same as us. So we went back to our van
 and had a cupper and get ready for for the next part of our trip home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So hope you take a look.
So by for now. love to all take care xx and big Hugs sent.
