To Wagga Wagga on the Murrumbidgee

Once we knew we were going to Melbourne we decided that this little trip would also be an excellent opportunity to see Graham’s older sister Daphne. We booked an excellent motel we had stayed in on previous visits and a table for three at the wonderful Magpie’s Nest restaurant.

The towns along this stretch of the highway make an effort to attract the eye at least and I thought I was seeing things at Brookong but no, there were tin sheep, tin horses and so on for some distance out of town.
