7th & 8th May 2012 - Cobram (Dead Bend Beach)









Heading towards Cobram and taking the back roads once again.  Up to Tooleybuc then across to Kyalite crossing the Wakool River.  Then we will follow the Edward River across to Moolpa, Moulamein, Morgan and then through to Deniliquin.  So much water along the side of the road, dams as well as the rivers all looking very full and very healthy. Stopped at Moulamein for lunch and had a look at an old Court house.  Interesting town, it is the oldest Riverina Town established in 1851.  Not much there now though, looks like a lot of the shops have a “For Sale” sign on them and even the Pub was closed.  No counter lunch for us today…!!! Finally settled into a camp area on the Murray at “Dead Bend Beach” (305) just outside Cobram.  The river here, as well as The Edward River at Deniliquin, are very low in comparison to all the other rivers we have seen in the last few weeks.  Obviously The Murray is being held back at Yarrawonga, but I don’t know why The Edward is so low…..Lovely camping spot with a sand bank down to the river and only 2 other people camping here. Will stay a couple of nights and then go across to Greens Lake near Elmore for our last 2 nights before arriving at Maree & Paul’s on Friday.
