Tallangatta in the Murray Valley


We're still in Victoria - but only just.  We're staying in Tallangatta on Lake Hume for a week or so.  Lake Hume is on the Murray River in eastern Victoria.  It a big lake, but at the moment is only about 40% full as water is being fed into the Murray River.  We had planned to stay at the showgrounds while here.  This was thwarted by the Tallangatta Show being held this weekend.  Country shows are great entertainment and we spend several hours wandering around, looking at the exhibits.  There are certainly some talented people in this land of ours.






We watched some show jumping and woodchopping too.






After the show we went for a drive to Mitta Mitta, about 60km away.  Cherryl started school here almost 60 years ago.  Her memories are more traumatic than pleasant and she was only there for 1 year before moving to the school at the Bonegilla Migrant Camp, where her father was working.  We'll be visiting there later in the week.




This is a very friendly town and we'll enjoy our stay here.
