Yarrawonga
Ahh! Finally back, must say admittingly that Yarrawonga isn’t much of a “trip of a life time”, however it was still bearable.
It took about three hours to get up to North Victoria (Slept most of the way… so boring and I forgot to bring my PSP). Yarrawonga is on the border of Victoria and New South Wales and we ended up visiting New South Wales as well. However, before I go telling you what I did there, I have to rather concerning matters that I would like to share.
On the way there, there was a hitchhiker, kilometres from town, stuck with no where to go and basically looked like a beggar. He waves desperately, hoping to get a free ride, yet no one answers his call. How was he going to survive? Would anyone even stop for him? Would a priest? A kind person? Kevin Rudd, Obama or anyone stop for him? Perhaps if Kevin Rudd and Obama would if they were campaigning, but I really do wonder who would stop for the poor guy that needed help.
Now, contrastingly, on the WAY BACK, I witnessed something of a glimpse of the destruction of the bushfires this year. I must say, that before I saw this in reality and only on T.V, I was shocked, but it felt nothing near real and quite confessingly, I kind of didn’t cared. ( Did donate a sizeable amount to the Red Cross!!!) The trees on either side of the highway were burnt, black like ash, however they were starting to grow back as the Autumn leaves stood out from the contrasting colour black. This went on for about a few kilometres and after seeing continuosly of what the bush fires had done, I really felt sorry for those who had impacted by it. My you, this was only a small hit area compared to the one in Marysville ( Couldn’t go on camp due to campsite burnt down there).
So there’s my piece of thought, a little long but hope you don’t mind Now to the story umm, we stayed in a motel and often drove over to New South Wales. (Less than 5 minutes away). Separating New South Wales and Victoria was the Malwala Lake and above the lake was a bridge that connected the two states together. Of course, it was too hard to resist the tempation of walking the bridge and muck around doing the ” I’m in Victoria, now I’m not, now I am, now I not!”
Really, we didn’t do much, however if you’re going to Yarawonga, you might want to take water sking lessons there. Anyhow, that’s all from me and IT’S GREAT TO BE BACK IN MELBOURNE
I DO APOLOGIZE ABOUT MY CONCERNING MATTERS TAKING UP MORE ROOM THAN THE ACTUAL TRIP, however I must say there wasn’t a lot there that I could talk about. SO SORRY ABOUT THAT
