Goldfields, Murray River and melting feeling

After a fantastic stay at Bunyip, we headed for the goldfields and stopped in at Maldon for the new year, Bendigo while we got the car serviced (and melted in the heat), Wakiti Creek (and Echuca) and Cobram along the Murray River. Nearly a week of 40+ temps tested even us Queenslanders....................

Our camp at Maldon

Unbelievable I know, but we all woke up early to watch the first sunrise of 2013.

A rare treat for us, a first class ticket on a historic train ride to Castlemaine and  back (courtesy of our Xmas pressies - thanks Pop and Aunty Gay).

All aboard.

Cooling off with a dip in the Murray River at Echuca (Pevensey in background).

On board "Pevensey"

It all got too much for little F

Our camp on the Murray at Cobram - a welcome change from the heat.
