Nyah 7 Dec 2005

Had a look around Swan Hill in the morning. Swan Hill is a small town, but as it services all the surrounding area, it has a large shopping centre. As well as the usual shops, there are many supplies for the agricultural industry, which are irrigated from the Murray. They grow all types of stone fruits, vegetables and grapes. The town was very green and had a beautiful park next to the river, where we had lunch. In the afternoon, we had a look at their regional art gallery and set off for Nyah State Park. We found a lovely spot to camp for the night, right on the Murray, but unfortunately, it was over-shadowed by large red gums. After much mucking around, we found another picturesque camp spot, but this time no large trees. We are now siting on the banks of the Murray, enjoying a cold drink, with a gentle breeze blowing to cool the warm afternoon sun – heaven!
