Holbrook NSW

Holbrook NSW. May 20, 2015

Left Echuca on the penultimate leg of this tour. We told the GPS 'Holbrook' and then ignored its strident and persistent advice to go the longer way around on the Murray Valley Highway, instead choosing to take the most direct route out through the back-blocks and all the little towns (some not so little) such as  Nathalia, Katamatite, Numurkah,  Yarrawonga and Rutherglen before spilling out onto the Hume and turning North.

We made it into Holbrook about 2pm and were just sitting down to lunch when Bev & John arrived on their first day out on their great northern trek. We haven't seen them for months and it was a great chance to have a good old chat, mostly road-talk, where we've been, where they are going, all that kind of stuff.  Bev brought out a nice bottle champers and we toasted each others health before retiring to our vans to get ready for a big night out at the local RSL club where we will have dinner and maybe another glass of wine.

All the best you two - Safe Travels!
