Bundalong 2 November 2005

Ready to move off in the morning after a great day, but alas, we weren’t going anywhere. We were stuck in the mud and needed a tow to get moving. After the ‘Bargain Queen’, went back to the factory shop to buy the rest of the towels she left behind, we headed off to Glenrowan. While there were many tourist shops, there was nothing left from the famous Ned Kelly siege. The original inn had been burnt done, the railway station and tracks pulled up and the siege area is now a desolate tract. The whole town seemed to be full of quiet despair, while waiting for the next tourist bus to arrive.
As it was a very hot day and we left Glenrowan and headed north to Bundalong, where we camped on the edge of the Murray River. It was a lovely spot until four water skiers came along in a 500 HP boat that drove all the wild life away for miles! However once they left, we had the whole area to ourselves – heaven!
